NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     setmnt - establish	mount table

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     setmnt [-f	mtab]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     setmnt creates the	/etc/mtab table, which is used by the mount(1M)	and
     umount commands, among others.  If	given the -f option, it	creates	an
     alternate mtab.  setmnt reads standard input and writes an	entry in
     mtab(4) format for	each line read.	 Input lines have the format:

	  fsname dir

     where fsname is the name of the filesystem's special file (for example,
     /dev/dsk/dks?d?s?)	 and dir is the	mountpoint of that filesystem.	Thus,
     fsname and	dir become the first two strings in the	mount table entry.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

     /etc/mtab

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

     devnm(1M),	mount(1M).

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     Problems may occur	if fsname or dir is longer than	127 characters.
