DEVNM(1M) — Silicon Graphics
NAME
devnm − device name
SYNOPSIS
/etc/devnm [names]
DESCRIPTION
Devnm identifies the special file associated with the mounted file system where the argument name resides (as a special case, both the block device name and the swap device name are printed for the argument name / if swapping is done on the same disk section as the root file system). Argument names must be full path names.
This command is most commonly used during booting to construct a mount table entry for the root device.
EXAMPLE
/etc/devnm /usr
produces
si0f /usr
if /usr is mounted on /dev/si0f.
