On Solaris 7 (I think) it behaved as just a file, where the mount/umount programs adjusted it, but the umount system call didn't touch it.

You could use the tried and tested Windows solution,..... reboot it.

/etc/mnttab empty UNIXware 7.1.3

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 ? Thanks (2 Replies)

NAME
quotaon, quotaoff - turn ufs file system quotas on and off SYNOPSIS
quotaon [-v] filesystem... quotaon -a [-v] quotaoff [-v] filesystem... quotaoff -a [-v] DESCRIPTION
quotaon turns on disk quotas for one or more ufs file systems. Before a file system may have quotas enabled, a file named quotas, owned by root, must exist in the root directory of the file system. See edquota(1M) for details on how to modify the contents of this file. quotaoff turns off disk quotas for one or more ufs file systems. The file systems specified must already be mounted. These commands update the mntopts field of the appropriate entries in /etc/mnttab to indicate when quotas are on or off for each file sys- tem. If quotas are on, the string quota will be added to mntopts; if quotas are off, the quota string is not present. filesystem must be either the mount point of a file system, or the block device on which the file system resides. OPTIONS
quotaon -a This option is normally used at boot time to enable quotas. It applies only to those file systems in /etc/vfstab which have ``rq'' in the mntopts field, are currently mounted ``rw'', and have a quotas file in the root directory. -v Display a message for each file system after quotas are turned on. quotaoff -a Force all file systems in /etc/mnttab to have their quotas disabled. -v Display a message for each file system affected. USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of quotaon and quotaoff when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2 **31 bytes). FILES
