vfstab(4)                                                  vfstab(4)


       NAME
             vfstab - table of file system defaults

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <sys/fstyp.h>
             #include <sys/param.h>
             #include <sys/vfstab.h>

       DESCRIPTION
             The file /etc/vfstab describes defaults for each file system.
             The information is in the following structure, defined in
             sys/vfstab.h:

                   struct vfstab {
                         char   *vfs_special;
                         char   *vfs_fsckdev;
                         char   *vfs_mountp;
                         char   *vfs_fstype;
                         char   *vfs_fsckpass;
                         char   *vfs_automnt;
                         char   *vfs_mntopts;
                         char   *vfs_macceiling;
                   };

             The fields in the table are space-separated and show the block
             special or resource name, the raw device to fsck, the default
             mount directory, the name of the file system type, the number
             used by fsck to decide whether to check the file system
             automatically, whether the file system should be mounted
             automatically by mountall, the mount options, and the default
             file system level ceiling.  If Enhanced Security is not
             installed, the field that displays the default file system
             level ceiling is not used.  A ``-'' is used to indicate no
             entry in a field.

             The getvfsent(3G) family of routines are used to read and
             write to /etc/vfstab.

       NOTICES
             Do not store information in the vfstab file other than the
             fields described above; fields may be added to this file in
             future releases and are reserved for future use.
