System Administration Guide: Devices and File Systems

ProcedureHow to Mount a File System (/etc/vfstab File)

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

  2. Mount a file system listed in the /etc/vfstab file.


    # mount /mount-point

    where /mount-point specifies an entry in the mount point or device to mount field in the /etc/vfstab file. It is usually easier to specify the mount point.

Example 18–3 Mounting a File System (/etc/vfstab File)

The following example shows how to mount the /usr/dist file system that is listed in the /etc/vfstab file.


# mount /usr/dist
Example 18–4 Mounting All File Systems (/etc/vfstab File)

The following example shows the messages that are displayed when you use the mountall command and the file systems are already mounted.


# mountall
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7 already mounted
mount: /tmp already mounted
mount: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 is already mounted, /export/home is busy,
        or the allowable number of mount points has been exceeded

When using the mountall command, all the file systems with a device to fsck entry are checked and fixed, if necessary, before they are mounted.

The following example shows how to mount all the local systems that are listed in the /etc/vfstab file.


# mountall -l
# mount
/ on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr/onerror=...
/devices on /devices read/write/setuid/dev=46c0000 on Thu Sep  ...
/system/contract on ctfs read/write/setuid/devices/dev=43c0001 ... 
/usr on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr/...
/proc on /proc read/write/setuid/dev=4700000 on Thu Sep  2 ...
/etc/mnttab on mnttab read/write/setuid/dev=47c0000 on Thu Sep  2 ...
/etc/svc/volatile on swap read/write/setuid/devices/xattr/dev=4480001 ...
/system/object on objfs read/write/setuid/devices/dev=44c0001 ...
/dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid/dev=4800000 on Thu Sep  2 ...
/var/run on swap read/write/setuid/xattr/dev=1 on Thu Sep  2 ...
/tmp on swap read/write/setuid/xattr/dev=2 on Thu Sep  2 ...
/stuff on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr...
/export/home on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/...

The following example shows how to mount all available ZFS file systems.


# zfs mount -a

The following example shows how to mount all the remote file systems that are listed in the /etc/vfstab file.


# mountall -r
# mount
/ on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr/onerror=...
/devices on /devices read/write/setuid/dev=46c0000 on Thu Sep  ...

/usr on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr/...
/proc on /proc read/write/setuid/dev=4700000 on Thu Sep  2 ...
/etc/mnttab on mnttab read/write/setuid/dev=47c0000 on Thu Sep  2 ...

/stuff on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr...
/export/home on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/...
/home/rimmer on pluto:/export/home/rimmer remote/read/write/setuid/xattr/...
