LABELIT(1M)							   LABELIT(1M)

NAME
       labelit - list or provide labels for file systems

SYNOPSIS
       labelit [-F FSType] [-V] [-o FSType-specific-options] special
	    [operands]

DESCRIPTION
       The  labelit  utility  is  used to write or display labels on unmounted
       disk file systems.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -F FSType
		    Specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType	should
		    either   be	  specified   here  or	be  determinable  from
		    /etc/vfstab by matching the special with an entry  in  the
		    table.  If	no  matching  entry is found, the default file
		    system type specified in /etc/default/fs will be used.

       -V
		    Echo complete command line. This option  may  be  used  to
		    verify  and validate the command line. Additional informa‐
		    tion obtained using a /etc/vfstab lookup  is  included  in
		    the output. The command is not executed.

       -o
		    Specify  FSType-specific  options. See the manual page for
		    the labelit module specific to the file system type.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported. If	 no  operands  are  specified,
       labelit will display the value of the labels.

       special
		   The	disk  partition (for example, /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6). The
		   device may not be on a remote machine.

       operands
		   FSType-specific operands. Consult the manual	 page  of  the
		   FSType-specific labelit command for detailed descriptions.

USAGE
       See  largefile(5)  for  the description of the behavior of labelit when
       encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0
		   Write or display of labels was successful.

       non-zero
		   An error occurred.

FILES
       /etc/vfstab
			  List of default parameters for each file system.

       /etc/default/fs
			  Default local file system type. Default  values  can
			  be  set  for the following flags in /etc/default/fs.
			  For example:

			  LOCAL=ufs
			  LOCAL
				       The default partition for a command  if
				       no FSType is specified.
