labelit(1M)
labelit (generic) --
provide labels for filesystems
Synopsis
labelit [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
special [operands]
Description
labelit
can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk
filesystems or filesystems being copied to tape.
The
special
name should be the disk partition (for example,
/dev/rdsk/*, where the value of * is machine specific),
or the cartridge tape (for example,
/dev/rmt/*).
The device may not be on a remote machine. operands are
FSType-specific and the manual page of the FSType-specific
labelit command should be consulted for a detailed description.
current_options
are options supported by the s5-specific module of labelit.
Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options.
specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated
list of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by
the FSType-specific module of the command.
The options are:
- -F
-
specify the FSType on which to operate.
The FSType should either be
specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by
matching special with an entry in the table.
- -V
-
echo complete command line. This
option is used to verify and validate the command line.
Additional information obtained via a /etc/vfstab lookup
is included in the output. The command is not executed.
- -o
-
Specify FSType-specific options.
Files
- /etc/vfstab
-
list of default parameters for each filesystem
