MTAB(5)                 GENIX Programmer's Manual                 MTAB(5)



      NAME
           mtab - mounted file system table

      DESCRIPTION
           Mtab resides in directory /etc  and  contains  a  table  of  devices
           mounted by the mount command.  Umount removes entries.

           Each entry is 64 bytes long; the first 32 are the  null-padded  name
           of  the  place  where the special file is mounted; the second 32 are
           the null-padded name of the special file.  The special file has  all
           its  directories stripped away; that is, everything through the last
           `/' is thrown away.

           This table is present only so people can look at it.   It  does  not
           matter  to  mount if there are duplicated entries nor to umount if a
           name cannot be found.

      FILES
           /etc/mtab
