NAME

labelit (generic) - provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

The special name should be the disk partition (e.g., /dev/rdsk/c0d0s6), or the cartridge tape (e.g., /dev/rSA/ctape1). 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 the 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.

NOTE

This command may not be supported for all FSTypes.
