NAME
      mountfsys, umountfsys - mount, unmount a file system

SYNOPSIS
      mountfsys
      umountfsys

DESCRIPTION
      The mountfsys command mounts a file system so that users can read from it
      and write to it.  The umountfsys command unmounts the file system.

      The command invokes a visual interface (the mount or unmount tasks
      available through the sysadm command).

      The initial prompt for both commands allows you to select the device on
      which to mount/unmount the file system.

      For the mountfsys command, you are asked to select how the file system is
      to be mounted; for example, read-only or read/write.

      The identical functions are available under the sysadm menu:

            sysadm mount
            sysadm unmount

DIAGNOSTICS
      Both mountfsys and umountfsys exit with one of the following values:

      0     Normal exit.

      2     Invalid command syntax.  A usage message is displayed.

      7     The visual interface for this command is not available because it
            cannot invoke fmli.  (The fmli package is not installed or is
            corrupt.)

NOTES
      For a removable medium, once the disk is mounted it must not be removed
      from the disk drive until it has been unmounted.  Removing the disk while
      it is still mounted can cause severe damage to the data on the disk.
