NAME

     mountall, umountall - mount, unmount multiple file systems


SYNOPSIS

     mountall [-F FSType] [-l | -r]  [file_system_table]

     umountall [-k] [-s] [-F FSType] [-l | -r]  [-n]

     umountall [-k] [-s] [-h host] [-n]


DESCRIPTION

     mountall is used to mount file systems specified in  a  file
     system  table.  The  file  system table must be in vfstab(4)
     format. If no file_system_table is specified, /etc/vfstab is
     used. If - is specified as file_system_table, mountall reads
     the file system table  from  the  standard  input.  mountall
     mounts  only those file systems with the mount at boot field
     set to yes in the file_system_table.

     For each file system in the file system table, the following
     logic     is     executed:     if     there     exists     a
     file/usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall, where FSType is the type  of
     the  file  system,  save  that  file  system in a list to be
     passed  later,  and  all  at  once,  as  arguments  to   the
     /usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall            script.            The
     /usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall script checks  all  of  the  file
     systems  in  its argument list to determine whether they can
     be safely mounted.  If no /usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall  script
     exists for the FSType of the file system, the file system is
     individually checked using fsck(1M). If the file system does
     not  appear  mountable,  it  is  fixed using fsck before the
     mount is attempted. File systems  with  a  -  entry  in  the
     fsckdev field are mounted without first being checked.

     umountall causes all mounted file systems except root, /usr,
     /var,   /var/adm,   /var/run,   /proc,  and  /dev/fd  to  be
     unmounted. If the FSType is specified, mountall  and  umoun-
     tall  limit  their actions to the FSType specified. There is
     no guarantee that umountall unmounts busy file systems, even
     if the -k option is specified.


OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -F    Specify the FSType of the file system to be mounted or
           unmounted.

     -h host
           Unmount all file systems listed  in  /etc/mnttab  that
           are remote-mounted from host.

     -k    Use  the  fuser  -k  mount-point  command.   See   the
           fuser(1M)  for  details.  The -k option sends the SIG-
           KILL signal to each process using the  file.  As  this
           option  spawns  kills  for each process, the kill mes-
           sages might not  show  up  immediately.  There  is  no
           guarantee  that  umountall unmounts busy file systems,
           even if the -k option is specified.

     -l    Limit the action to local file systems.

     -n    List the actions  that  would  be  performed  for  the
           specified  options,  but do not actually execute these
           actions. Repeating the command without the  -n  option
           executes   the   listed  actions,  assuming  that  the
           /etc/mnttab file has not changed in the interval prior
           to repeating the command.

     -r    Limit the action to remote file system types.

     -s    Do not perform the umount operation in parallel.


FILES

     /etc/mnttab
           Mounted file system table

     /etc/vfstab
           Table of file system defaults

     /usr/lib/fs/FSType/fsckall
           Script called by mountall to perform the  file  system
           check of all file systems of type FSType

DIAGNOSTICS

     No messages are printed if the file  systems  are  mountable
     and clean.

     Error and warning messages come from fsck(1M) and mount(1M).
