- If I cat my /etc/mtab, I get:
- 3# cat /etc/mtab
- /dev/root / efs rw,raw=/dev/rroot 0 0
- /dev/usr /usr efs rw,raw=/dev/rusr 0 0
- /debug /debug dbg rw 0 0
- tiny.computing:/dua2/tiny /usr/tiny nfs rw,bg,hard,intr,dev=1200 0 0
- /dev/dsk/dks0d5s6 /people2 efs rw,raw=/dev/dsk/dks0d5s6,fsck,noquota 0 0
- /dev/dsk/dks0d5s0 /tftpboot2 efs rw,raw=/dev/dsk/dks0d5s0,fsck,noquota 0 0

- where /dev/root & /dev/usr are a SGI disk & /dev/dsk/dks0d5 is a 3rd
- party disk. The 3rd party disk was mounted with the vadmin GUI.
- Note the raw= part: for the SGI disk it points to the rdsk device
- while the 3rd party raw= part points to the dsk device...
-
- Will this affect anything? (e.g., fsr which looks for raw devices)
- SHould I worry about this?
