DESCRIPTION

       is  used  to  mount  file  systems  according  to  file_system_table.  By default, is the file_system_table.  If a dash is specified, reads
       file_system_table from the standard input; the standard input must be in the same format as the

       Before each file system is mounted, a check is done using (see fsck(1M)) to ensure that the file system is mountable.  If the  file  system
       is not mountable, it is repaired by before the mount is attempted.

       causes all mounted file systems except the non-removable file systems such as to be unmounted.

   Options
       and recognize the following options:

	      Specify the file system type
			     (FStype) to be mounted or unmounted.

	      Specify action on local file systems only.

	      Specify action on remote file systems only.

	      Send a	     signal to processes that have files opened.

	      Attempt to mount all the unmounted file systems. This option will not perform the file system consistency check and repair.

	      Perform the file system consistency check and repair on all unmounted file system. This option will not mount the file systems.

DIAGNOSTICS
