labelit(1M)


labelit (generic) -- provide labels for filesystems

Synopsis

labelit [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
special [operands]

Description

labelit can be used to provide labels for unmounted disk filesystems or filesystems being copied to tape.

The special name should be the disk partition (for example, /dev/rdsk/*, where the value of * is machine specific), or the cartridge tape (for example, /dev/rmt/*). The device may not be on a remote machine. operands are FSType-specific and the manual page of the FSType-specific labelit command should be consulted for a detailed description.

current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of labelit. Other FSTypes do not necessarily support these options. specific_options indicate suboptions specified in a comma-separated list of suboptions and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the FSType-specific module of the command.

The options are:

-F
specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType should either be specified here or be determinable from /etc/vfstab by matching special with an entry in the table.

-V
echo complete command line. This option is used to verify and validate the command line. Additional information obtained via a /etc/vfstab lookup is included in the output. The command is not executed.

-o
Specify FSType-specific options.
