LABELIT(1M)                                           LABELIT(1M)



     NAME
          labelit - provide labels for file systems

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

     DESCRIPTION
          labelit 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/c0d0s6), or the cartridge tape (e.g.,
          /dev/SA/ctape1).  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 superblock.
