SETMNT(ADM)                          UNIX System V



     Name
          setmnt - establishes /etc/mnttab table


     Syntax
          /etc/setmnt


     Description
          setmnt creates the /etc/mnttab table (see mnttab(F)),  which
          is  needed for both the mount(ADM) and umount(ADM) commands.
          setmnt reads the standard input and creates a  mnttab  entry
          for each line.  Input lines have the format:

               filesys node

          where filesys is the name of the file system's special  file
          (e.g.,  ``hd0'')  and  node  is  the  root name of that file
          system.  Thus filesys and node become the first two  strings
          in the mnttab(F) entry.


     Files
          /etc/mnttab


     See Also
          mnttab(F)


     Notes
          If filesys or node are longer than  128  characters,  errors
          can occur.

          setmnt silently enforces  an  upper  limit  on  the  maximum
          number of mnttab entries.

          setmnt is normally invoked by the /etc/rc2 scripts when  the
          system boots up.
