labelit(1M_UFS)                (UFS)                 labelit(1M_UFS)


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

       SYNOPSIS
             labelit [-F ufs] [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/rdsk/*, where the value of * is machine
             specific), or the cartridge tape (for example, /dev/rmt/*).
             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 disk pack, diskette, or tape.
             volume must be less than seven characters long.

             The options are:

            -F ufs Specifies the ufs-FSType.

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

       NOTICES
             Labeling a tape that already has a label will destroy the
             tape's contents.
