NAME

mountfsys, umountfsys − mount, unmount a file system

SYNOPSIS

mountfsys
umountfsys

DESCRIPTION

The mountfsys command mounts a file system so that users can read from it and write to it.  The umountfsys command unmounts the file system. 

The command invokes a visual interface (the mount or unmount tasks available through the sysadm command). 

The initial prompt for both commands allows you to select the device on which to mount/unmount the file system. 

For the mountfsys command, you are asked to select how the file system is to be mounted; for example, read-only or read/write. 

The identical functions are available under the sysadm menu:

sysadm mount sysadm unmount

DIAGNOSTICS

Both mountfsys and umountfsys exit with one of the following values:

0 Normal exit. 

2 Invalid command syntax.  A usage message is displayed. 

7 The visual interface for this command is not available because it cannot invoke fmli.  (The fmli package is not installed or is corrupt.) 

NOTES

For a removable medium, once the disk is mounted it must not be removed from the disk drive until it has been unmounted.  Removing the disk while it is still mounted can cause severe damage to the data on the disk.
