labelit(1M_S5)                  (S5)                  labelit(1M_S5)


       NAME
             labelit (s5) - provide labels for s5 file systems

       SYNOPSIS
             labelit [-F s5] [generic_options] [-n] special [fsname volume]

       DESCRIPTION
             generic_options are options supported by the generic labelit
             command.

             labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted  s5 disk
             file systems or s5 file systems being copied to tape.

             With the optional arguments omitted, labelit prints current
             label values.

             The special name should be the disk partition (for example,
             /dev/rdsk/*), or the cartridge tape (for example, /dev/rmt/*,
             where the value of * is machine dependent.)  The device may
             not be on a remote machine.

             The fsname argument represents the mounted name (for example,
             root, usr, and so on) of the file system.  fsname must be less
             than seven characters long.

             Volume may be used to equate an internal name to a volume name
             applied externally to the hard disk, diskette or tape.  volume
             must be less than seven characters long.

             For file systems on disk, fsname and volume are recorded in
             the superblock.

             The options are:

             -F s5     Specifies the s5-FSType.  Used to ensure that an s5
                       file system is labeled.

             -n        Provides for initial tape labeling only.  (This
                       destroys the previous contents of the tape.)
