labelit(1M_VXFS)               (VXFS)               labelit(1M_VXFS)


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

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

       DESCRIPTION
             labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted vxfs disk
             file systems or for tapes being used to copy vxfs file
             systems.

             generic_options are options supported by the generic labelit
             command.

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

             The special name should be the disk partition (for example,
             /dev/rdsk/c0b0t1d0s5) or the tape device (for example,
             /dev/rmt/c0s0).  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.

             volume may be used to equate an internal name to a volume name
             applied externally to the disk pack, diskette, or tape.

             For file systems on disk, fsname and volume are recorded in
             the super-block.

             The options are:

             -F vxfs   Specify the vxfs FSType.  Used to ensure that a vxfs
                       file system is labeled.

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