NAME

labelit_ufs − provide and print labels for ufs file systems

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/labelit −F ufs [ generic_options ] special [ fsname volume ]

DESCRIPTION

labelit is used to write labels on unmounted disk file systems or file systems being copied to tape.  Such labels may be used to uniquely identify volumes, and are used by volume-oriented programs such as volcopy(1M). 

generic_options are options supported by the generic labelit command.  See labelit(1M). 

The special name should be the physical disk section (for example, /dev/dsk/c0d0s6), or the tape (for example, /dev/rmt/0).  The device may not be on a remote machine. 

The fsname argument represents the mount point (for example, root, u1, and so on) of the file system.  volume may be used to represent the physical volume name. 

If fsname and volume are not specified, labelit prints the current values of these labels.  Both fsname and volume are limited to six or fewer characters.
