The Mounted File System Table

Whenever you mount or unmount a file system, the /etc/mnttab (mount table) file is modified with the list of currently mounted file systems. You can display the contents of the mount table using the cat or more commands, but you cannot edit it. Here is an example of a /etc/mnttab file:


$ more /etc/mnttab
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0    /       ufs     rw,suid,dev=800018,largefiles 863804345
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6    /usr    ufs     rw,suid,dev=80001e,largefiles 863804345
/proc   /proc   proc    rw,suid,dev=2900000     863804345
fd      /dev/fd fd      rw,suid,dev=29c0000     863804345
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s3   /export ufs     suid,rw,largefiles,dev=80001b  863804347
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s7   /export/home ufs suid,rw,largefiles,dev=80001f 863804348
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s4   /export/swap ufs suid,rw,largefiles,dev=80001c 863804348
/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s5   /opt  ufs   suid,rw,largefiles,dev=80001d  863804347
swap    /tmp    tmpfs   dev=2a80000     863804347
