labelit(1M_SFS)                (SFS)                 labelit(1M_SFS)


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

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

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

             generic_options are options supported by the generic labelit
             command.

             If neither fsname nor volume is specified, labelit prints the
             current values.

             The special name should be the physical disk section (for
             example, /dev/dsk/c0b0t0d0s6), or the cartridge tape (for
             example, /dev/dsk/c0s0).  The device may not be on a remote
             machine.

             The fsname argument represents the mounted name (for example,
             root, home, 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 disk pack, diskette, or tape.
             volume must be less than seven characters long.

             The options are:

             -F sfs
                   Specifies the sfs-FSType.

             -n    For initial tape labeling only (to prepare for
                   volcopy(1M).)  This destroys the previous contents of
                   the tape.
