LABELIT(1M)							   LABELIT(1M)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     labelit - provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /sbin/labelit special [ fsname volume [ -n	] ]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk file systems or
     file systems being	copied to tape.	 You must be superuser to run labelit
     . The -n option provides for initial labeling only	(this destroys
     previous contents).

     With the optional arguments omitted, labelit prints current label values.

     The special name should be	the physical disk section (e.g.,
     /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0), or the	a rewind tape device (e.g., /dev/tape).	 The
     device may	not be on a remote machine.

     The fsname	argument represents the	mounted	name (e.g., root, u1, etc.)
     of	the file system.

     Volume may	be used	to equate an internal name to a	volume name applied
     externally	to the disk pack, diskette or tape.

     For file systems on disk, fsname and volume are recorded in the
     superblock.
