NAME

mnttab − mounted file system table

DESCRIPTION

The file mnttab resides in /etc and contains information about devices that are currently mounted.  mnttab is read by programs using the routines described in getmntent(3C).  mount(1M) adds entries to this file.  umount removes entries from this file.  Each entry is a line of fields separated by spaces in the form:

special   mount_point   fstype   options   time

special The pathname of  a  block-special  device,  the name of a remote filesystem in host:pathname form, or the name of a “swap file” (for instance, a file made with mkfile(1M)). 

mount_point The pathname of the directory on which the filesystem is mounted. 

fstype The file system type of the mounted file system. 

options The mount options. 

time The time at which the file system was mounted.
