MOUNTALL(1M) RISC/os Reference Manual MOUNTALL(1M)
NAME
mountall, umountall - mount, unmount multiple file systems
SYNOPSIS
/etc/mountall
/etc/umountall [-k]
DESCRIPTION
These commands may be executed only by the super-user.
mountall is used to mount file systems according to
/etc/fstab.
All dirty file systems are first checked in parallel,
depending on priorities set in fstab(4). Before the local
file systems are recursively mounted, they are checked using
fsstat(1M), embedded in fsck, to see if they appear mount-
able. If a file system does not appear mountable, it is
checked, using fsck(1M), before the mount is attempted. Any
failure to mount a specific point will disallow mounts under
that point.
By default, any fsck failure while booting to multi-user
will shutdown the system to single-user. However, if the
file /etc/bad_boot.conf exists, it will be executed instead.
Upon exiting this file with a non-zero status, local file
systems will be mounted.
umountall 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
/etc/fstab Even though mountall is a SVR3 command, it
must adhere to a BSD-style fstab(4) because
of RISC/os's BSD file system.
/etc/bad_boot.conf

DIAGNOSTICS
No fsck messages are printed if the file systems are mount-
able and clean. When file systems are mounted, mount mes-
sages will always be printed.
Error and warning messages come from fsck(1M), fsck.ffs(1M),
fsstat(1M), and mount(1M).
