System Administration Commands                        labelit(1M)



NAME
     labelit - list or provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS
     labelit [-F FSType] [-V] [-o FSType-specific-options] special
          [operands]


DESCRIPTION
     The labelit utility is used to write or  display  labels  on
     unmounted disk file systems.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -F FSType    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. If no
                  matching entry is found, the default file  sys-
                  tem  type  specified in /etc/default/fs will be
                  used.


     -V           Echo complete command line. This option may  be
                  used  to  verify and validate the command line.
                  Additional   information   obtained   using   a
                  /etc/vfstab  lookup  is included in the output.
                  The command is not executed.


     -o           Specify FSType-specific options. See the manual
                  page  for  the  labelit  module specific to the
                  file system type.


OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported.  If  no  operands  are
     specified, labelit will display the value of the labels.

     special     The     disk     partition     (for     example,
                 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6).  The device may not be on a
                 remote machine.


     operands    FSType-specific  operands.  Consult  the  manual
                 page  of the FSType-specific labelit command for
                 detailed descriptions.
