Managing filesystem types

The generic administrative commands

The following commands for filesystem administration can be used on multiple filesystem types:

Invoking the administrative commands

Most of these commands can be invoked this way:

   command [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options] operands

-F
-F specifies the filesystem type (FSType) on which the command must act. GREEK CAPITAL LETTER PI<FSType|(*P> must be specified on the command line or must be determinable from /etc/vfstab by matching an entry in that file with one of the operands specified. (See ``The vfstab filesystem table'' for information on the vfstab file.)

-V
-V causes the command to echo the completed command line. The echoed line will include additional information derived from the vfstab file. This option can be used to verify and validate the command line. It does not cause the command to execute.

current_options
current_options are options supported by the s5-specific module of the command.

-o
-o specifies FSType-specific-options. FSType-specific_options are options specified in a comma-separated list of keywords and/or keyword-attribute pairs for interpretation by the filesystem type-specific module of the command.

operands
operands are filesystem type-specific; consult the filesystem type-specific manual page of the command for a detailed description.
