NAME

labelit − provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS

/etc/labelit special [ fsname volume [ −n ] ]

DESCRIPTION

labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk file systems or file systems being copied to tape.  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/c0d0s6), or the cartridge tape (e.g., /dev/SA/ctape1).  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.
