/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

Try
Code:
man setmnt

Maybe there is a pointer to a rebuild command.?

Thanks for reply MadeInGermany. I didn't know about that command but have checked the manual. There is no specific re-build option with setmnt but you can specify the devices and mount points on the command line. I guess I would get these from /etc/vfstab. Can't try yet because it's a live server so I'll be nervous anyway ! If anybody has done this before then your experience would be welcome.
