labelit(1M)
labelit --
provide labels for filesystems (generic)
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.
If -F FSType is not specified it will
be determined by matching the special with an
entry in /etc/vfstab. If this fails, heuristics
similiar to those used by
fstyp(1M)
are used to determine the file
system type.
NOTE:
If the FSType is known beforehand, use the
-F option. This command executes faster
if it is not required to autodetect file system types.
-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.
