NAME
       setmnt - Creates a mount table

SYNOPSIS
       setmnt

STANDARDS
       Interfaces  documented  on this reference page conform to the following
       standards:

       setmnt:	XCU5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page	 for  more  information	 about
       industry standards and associated tags.

DESCRIPTION
       The  setmnt  command creates the /etc/mnttab table, which is needed for
       both the mount and umount commands.  The setmnt command reads  standard
       input  and creates an mnttab entry for each line.  The input lines have
       the format: filesys node

       The filesys path specifies the string of the  file  system's  ``special
       file''  (such  as  /dev/rz0a)  and node specifies the root name of that
       file system.  This will make filesys and node as the first two  strings
       in the mount table entry.

NOTES
       The  mount  table /etc/mnttab is not supported in the System V Environ‐
       ment; the mount information is stored in the kernel.  The  setmnt  com‐
       mand is provided for compatibility only.

       Files  that are referenced by absolute path in the System V Environment
       for Tru64 UNIX reference pages actually	may  be	 located  relative  to
       /usr/opt/svr4.  This  is particularly true in the case where the inclu‐
       sive view option has not been installed.

RESTRICTIONS
       Users may encounter a problem if filesys or  node  strings  are	longer
       than  32	 characters.	The  setmnt command silently enforces an upper
       limit on the maximum number of the mnttab entries.

FILES
       The mount table required by both the mount and umount commands.
