setmnt(ADM)                     19 June 1992                     setmnt(ADM)


 Name

    setmnt - establish /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 (for example,
    ``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.

 File

    /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.
