Become superuser.
Also, there must be a mount point on the local system to mount a file system. A mount point is a directory to which the mounted file system is attached.
Mount the file systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file.
# mountall [-l | -r] [-F fstype] |
If no options are specified, all file systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file with yes in the mount at boot field are mounted.
-l |
Mounts all the local file systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file with yes in the mount at boot field. |
-r |
Mounts all the remote file systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file with yes in the mount at boot field. |
-F fstype |
Mounts all file systems of the specified type listed in the /etc/vfstab file with yes in the mount at boot field. |
All the file systems with a device to fsck entry are checked and fixed, if necessary, before mounting.
The following example shows the messages displayed if file systems are already mounted when you use the mountall command.
# mountall mount: /tmp already mounted nfs mount: mount: /usr/openwin: Device busy nfs mount: mount: /usr/man: Device busy |
The following example mounts all the local systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file.
# mountall -l # mount / on /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 read/write/setuid/largefiles on ... /usr on /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6 read/write/setuid/largefiles on ... /proc on /proc read/write/setuid on Wed May 27 09:11:50 1998 /dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid on Wed May 27 09:11:50 1998 /tmp on swap read/write on Wed May 27 09:11:50 1998 |
The following example mounts all the remote file systems listed in the /etc/vfstab file.
# mountall -r # mount / on /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 read/write/setuid/largefiles on ... /usr on /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6 read/write/setuid/largefiles on ... /proc on /proc read/write/setuid on Mon Jun 8 10:28:31 1998 /dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid on Mon Jun 8 10:28:31 1998 /tmp on swap read/write on Mon Jun 8 10:28:31 1998 /nfs/mars.dist on mars:/usr/dist intr/remote on ... /nfs/mars.mail on mars:/var/mail intr/noac/remote on ... |
