  NAME

    labelit - Provides labels for file systems

  SYNOPSIS

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

  FLAGS

    -n   Provides for initial labeling only (this destroys the previous
         contents).

  DESCRIPTION

    The labelit command can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk file
    systems.  With the optional arguments omitted, labelit displays current
    label values.

    The special name should be the physical disk section (such as
    /dev/dsk/s0u0p7.3).  The device cannot be on a remote machine.

    The fsname argument represents the mounted name (such as root, u1, and so
    forth) of the file system.

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

    The fsname and volume arguments are recorded in the superblock.

    The labelit command displays the block size, number of inodes, and number
    of 512-byte sectors of the file system.  For file systems of type ffsfs
    (see ffsfs(4)), the fragment size is also displayed.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  labelit /dev/dsk/s0u0p7.3

    2.  labelit /dev/dsk/s0u0p7.4 /usr
