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.
