LABELIT(1M) INTERACTIVE UNIX System LABELIT(1M)
NAME
labelit - provide labels for file systems
SYNOPSIS
/etc/labelit special [ fsname volume [ -n ] ]
DESCRIPTION
The labelit command 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/0s3). 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 super block.
