NAME
pfs_fstab, mtab - static file system mounting table, mounted file systems table
SYNOPSIS
/etc/pfs_fstab
/etc/mtab
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/pfs_fstab
file contains entries for CD-ROM file systems and disc images to mount using the
pfs_mount (1M) command, which is normally invoked by rc(1M) script at boot time. This file is used by
various utilities such as
pfs_mount and pfs_umount
.
The
/etc/mtab file contains entries for file systems currently mounted, and is read by programs using
the routines described in getmntent (3X).
umount
(see mount(1M)) removes entries from this file.
Each entry consists of a line of the form:
filesystem directory type options freq pass
filesystem is the pathname of a raw or block-special device, the name of a remote file system in
host
:pathname form, or the name of a file created with MakeDisc.
directory is the pathname of the directory on which to mount the file system.
type is the file system type, which can be one of:
pfs-iso9660 to mount a device as iso9660.
pfs-hsfs to mount a device as hsfs.
pfs-rrip to mount a device as rrip.
pfs-nfs to mount an exported PFS file system
options contains a comma-separated list (no spaces) of mounting options, some of which can be
applied to all types of file systems, and others which only apply to specific types.
options valid on all file systems:
ro Even if not specified, this option is implied.
suid | nosuid Setuid execution allowed or disallowed.
bg | fg If the first attempt fails, retry in the background, or, in the foreground.
retry=n The number of times to retry the mount operation.
rsize=n Set the read buffer size to n bytes.
timeo=n Set the PFS timeout to n tenths of a second.
retrans=n The number of PFS retransmissions.
soft | hard Return an error if the server does not respond, or continue the retry
request until the server responds.
intr Allow keyboard interrupts on hard mounts.
options specific to
iso9660 and hsfs file systems:
xlat=xlat_flags
xlat_flags is a colon (:) separated list of translation options. Currently
supported are no_version, dot_version, lower_case, and unix.
freq is the interval (in days) between dumps. For a PFS file system, this should be 0.
pass is the fsck (1M) pass in which to check the partition. For a PFS file system, this should be 0.
A pound-sign (
#) as the first character indicates a comment line which is ignored by routines that read
this file. The order of records in /etc/pfs_fstab is important because fsck, mount, and umount
process the file sequentially; an entry for a file system must appear after the entry for any file system it is
to be mounted on top of.
EXAMPLES
/dev/sr0 /cd-rom pfs-iso9660 ro,suid 0 0
example: /home/user /home/user pfs-nfs ro,hard,fg 0 0
WARNINGS
PFS is obsolete and no longer supported on any HP-UX release. Delivery of PFS interfaces will be discon-
tinued in the next HP-UX release.
