ProcedureHow to Find UFS File System Names

  1. Display the contents of the /etc/vfstab file.


    $ more /etc/vfstab

  2. Look in the mount point column for the name of the file system.

  3. Use the directory name listed in the mount point column when you back up the file system.

Example 25–1 Finding File System Names

In this example, the file systems to be backed up are root (/), /usr, and and /export/home.
