LABELIT(ADM)                         UNIX System V



     Name
          labelit - provide labels for filesystems


     Syntax
          /etc/labelit special [ fsname volume [ -n ] ]


     Description
          The labelit command  can  be  used  to  provide  labels  for
          unmounted  disk file systems or file systems being copied to
          tape.  The -n option provides  for  initial  labeling  only.
          (This destroys previous contents.)

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

          The special name should be the physical disk section  (e.g.,
          /dev/dsk/0s3).  The device may not be on a remote machine.

          The fsname argument represents the mounted name (e.g., root,
          u1, etc.)  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.
