NAME [Toc] [Back]
setmnt - establish the file-system mount table, /etc/mnttab
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
/usr/sbin/setmnt
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The setmnt command creates the /etc/mnttab table (see mnttab(4)),
which is needed by both the mount and umount commands (see mount(1M)).
setmnt reads the standard input and creates an entry in /etc/mnttab
for each line of input. Input lines have the format:
filesys node
where filesys is the name of the device special file associated with
the file system (such as /dev/dsk/c0t5d0) and node is the root name of
that file system. Thus filesys and node become the first two strings
in the mount table entry.
WARNINGS [Toc] [Back]
The mount and umount commands rewrite the /etc/mnttab file whenever a
file system is mounted or unmounted if /etc/mnttab is found to be out
of date with the mounted file system table maintained internally by
the HP-UX kernel. The syncer command also updates /etc/mnttab if it
is out of date (see syncer(1M)).
/etc/mnttab should never be manually edited. Use of this command to
write invalid information into /etc/mnttab is strongly discouraged.
The setmnt command is not intented to be run interactively; input
should be directed to it from a file (for example, setmnt <
/tmp/file.mnt). If run interactively, terminate input with a ctrl-D.
setmnt silently enforces an upper limit on the maximum number of
/etc/mnttab entries.
It is unwise to use setmnt to create false entries for mount and
umount.
This command is obsolete and it may not be available for future
releases.
