SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/labelit [ −F FSType ] [ −V ] [ −o specific_options ] special [ operands ]

AVAILABILITY

SUNWcsu

DESCRIPTION

labelit is used to write or display labels on unmounted disk file systems or file systems being copied to tape. 

The special name should be the disk partition (for example, /dev/rdsk/c0d0s6), or the tape device (for example, /dev/rmt/0).  The device may not be on a remote machine.  operands are FSType-specific. Consult the manual page of the FSType-specific labelit command for detailed descriptions.  If no operands are specified, labelit will display the value of the labels. 

OPTIONS

−F Specify the FSType on which to operate.  The FSType should either be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by matching the special with an entry in the table.  If no matching entry is found, the default file system type specified in /etc/default/fs will be used. 

−V Echo complete command line. This option may be used to verify and validate the command line.  Additional information obtained using a /etc/vfstab lookup is included in the output. The command is not executed. 

−o Specify FSType-specific options.

FILES

/etc/vfstab list of default parameters for each file system

/etc/default/fs
