setmnt(1) setmnt(1) NAME setmnt - Creates a mount table SYNOPSIS setmnt STANDARDS Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to the following standards: setmnt: XCU5.0 Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags. DESCRIPTION The setmnt command creates the /etc/mnttab table, which is needed for both the mount and umount commands. The setmnt command reads standard input and creates an mnttab entry for each line. The input lines have the format: filesys node The filesys path specifies the string of the file system's ``special file'' (such as /dev/rz0a) and node specifies the root name of that file system. This will make filesys and node as the first two strings in the mount table entry. NOTES The mount table /etc/mnttab is not supported in the System V Environ‐ ment; the mount information is stored in the kernel. The setmnt com‐ mand is provided for compatibility only. Files that are referenced by absolute path in the System V Environment for Tru64 UNIX reference pages actually may be located relative to /usr/opt/svr4. This is particularly true in the case where the inclu‐ sive view option has not been installed. RESTRICTIONS Users may encounter a problem if filesys or node strings are longer than 32 characters. The setmnt command silently enforces an upper limit on the maximum number of the mnttab entries. FILES The mount table required by both the mount and umount commands.
