mountall(1M) mountall(1M)
NAME
mountall, umountall - mount, unmount multiple file systems
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/mountall [-F FSType] [-l | -r] [file_system_table]
/sbin/umountall [-F FSType] [-k] [-l | -r]
DESCRIPTION
The mountall command mounts file systems according to a
file_system_table. If no file_system_table is specified, then
the file /etc/dfs/dfstab is used.
Before each file system is mounted, a sanity check is done
using fsck [see fsck(1M)] to see if it appears mountable. If
the file system does not appear mountable, it is fixed, using
fsck, before the mount is attempted.
The umountall command causes all mounted file systems except
root, /proc, /stand, and /dev/fd to be unmounted.
Files
/etc/vfstab default file system table
Diagnostics
No messages are printed if the file systems are mountable and
clean.
Error and warning messages come from fsck(1M) and mount(1M).
USAGE
With no arguments mountall restricts the mount to all systems
with automnt field set to yes in the file_system_table.
If the FSType is specified, mountall and umountall limit their
actions to the FSType specified.
Options
The mountall and umountall commands take the following
options:
-F Specify the File System type to be mounted or
unmounted. If FSType is specified the action is
limited to file systems of this FSType.

-l Limit the action to local file systems.
-r Limit the action to remote file system types.
