I understand that /etc/mnttab is actually implemented as a screwy filesystem itself on Solaris. I read somewhere that:
umount /etc/mnttab
mount -F mntfs mnttab /etc/mnttab
might rebuild it. But I have never tried it. I guess you get to run the experiment.

Hi Guys
New to this forum so apologies if posted in wrong place. Got a unixware 7.1.3 system (I know !). df -k produces no output which I believe is because /etc/mnttab is empty. Can /etc/mnttab be re-built ?

NAME
mnttab - mounted file system table
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
resides in directory and contains a table of devices mounted by the command (see mount(1M)). The file contains a line of information for
each mounted filesystem which is structurally identical to the contents of described by fstab(4).
There are a number of lines of the form:
special_file_name dir type opts freq passno mount_time
consisting of entries similar to:
is accessed by programs that use (see getmntent(3X)). It should never be manually edited or overwritten.
mount_time contains the time the file system was mounted using Its value is the number of seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00 Coordinated
Universal Time, January 1, 1970 (see time(2).
The file is a pseudo-file whose contents are dynamically created based on the kernel's private in-core mount table. The file will always
reflect the latest file system and operations. rewrites the file if it is found to be deleted or corrupted. (see syncer(1M)).
WARNINGS
The table is provided only as a means for programs to return information about mounted file systems.
should never be edited, either with a text editor or with the delmntent(3X) and addmntent(3X) API's. The kernel will ignore all writes to
so these API's will return success even though they do not actually modify
