NAME

mountall, umountall − mount, unmount multiple file systems

SYNOPSIS

/etc/mountall [−] [file-system-table] ...
/etc/umountall [−k]

DESCRIPTION

These commands may be  executed only by the super-user. 

The mountall command is used to mount file systems according to a file-system-table. (/etc/fstab is the default file system table.) The special file name "−" reads from the standard input. 

Before each file system is mounted, it is checked using fsstat(1M) to see if it appears mountable.  If the file system does not appear mountable, it is checked, using fsck(1M), before the mount is attempted. 

The umountall command causes all mounted file systems except root to be unmounted.  The −k option sends a SIGKILL signal, via fuser(1M), to processes that have files open. 

FILES

File-system-table format:

column 1 block special file name of file system

column 2 mount-point directory

column 3 "−r" if to be mounted read-only; "−d" if remote

column 4 (optional) file system type string

column 5+ ignored

White space separates columns.  Lines beginning with "#" are comments.  Empty lines are ignored. 

A typical file-system-table might read:

/dev/dsk/0s1 /usr −r S51K

SEE ALSO

signal(2), fstab(4) in the INTER­ACTIVE SDS Guide and Programmer’s Reference Manual. 

DIAGNOSTICS

No messages are printed if the file systems are mountable and clean. 

Error and warning messages come from fsck(1M), fsstat(1M), and mount(1M). 

NOTES

The information displayed in Column 3 will only appear if the file system was mounted as a read-only or remote resource.
