establish mount table
From the original Amiga UNIX 2.1 manual. Some things it mentions may not be in this release.
NAME
setmnt - establish mount table
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/setmnt
DESCRIPTION
setmnt creates the /etc/mnttab table which is needed for both the mount and umount commands. setmnt reads standard input and creates a mnttab entry for each line. Input lines have the format:
filesys node
where filesys is the name of the file system's ``special file'' (such as /dev/dsk/c?d?s?) and node is the root name of that file system. Thus filesys and node become the first two strings in the mount table entry.
FILES
/etc/mnttab
SEE ALSO
mount(1M).
BUGS
Problems may occur if filesys or node are longer than 32 characters. setmnt silently enforces an upper limit on the maximum number of mnttab entries.
