  NAME

    mountall, umountall - Mounts, unmounts multiple file systems

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/mountall [file-system-table ... ]

    /etc/umountall [-k]

  FLAGS

    -k   Sends a SIGKILL signal, with fuser, to processes that have files
         open.

  DESCRIPTION

    The mountall command is used to mount file systems according to a file-
    system-table (/etc/fstab is the default).

    Before each file system is mounted, it is checked using fsstat to see if
    it appears mountable.  If the file system does not appear mountable, it is
    checked using fsck before the mount is attempted.

    The umountall command causes all mounted file systems except root to be
    unmounted.  The cache file system (CAFS) root will also be umounted.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To read the file-system-table from /etc/fstab, key in the mountall
        command without flags or arguments as follows:

        mountall


  FILES

    The format for a file-system-table follows:

    column 1    Block special filename of file system.

    column 2    Mount-point directory.

    column 3    -r if to be mounted read-only; -d if remote.

    column 4    File system type string.

    column 5    File system options.

    column 6+   Ignored.




  2/94 - Intergraph Corporation                                              1






  mountall(8)                         CLIX                         mountall(8)



    The white space separates columns.  The lines beginning with the pound
    sign (#) are comments.  The empty lines are ignored.

    A typical file-system-table entry might read as follows:

    /dev/dsk/c1d0s2     /usr -r S51K


    /dev/dsk/s1u0p7.3   /usr2   FFS


  NOTES

    The mountall and unmountall commands require superuser privileges.

    The file system types, Network File System (NFS), Optical Disk File System
    (ODFS), and Cache File System (CAFS) residing in the /etc/fstab file will
    be ignored.  Use nmountall to mount all NFS entries, camountall for CAFS
    entries, and jbmountall for /dev/dsk/@ style mounts.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    No messages are displayed if the file systems are mountable and clean.

    device is not a valid file system
           The error message means that the device is not a valid file system.

    Error and warning messages come from fsck(8), fsstat(8), and mount(8).
