NAME
FsTable - File System Table
SYNOPSIS
FsTable
DESCRIPTION
FsTable is a list of file system types from which users can
choose to make file systems on a floppy. Each entry includes
the name of the file system (for example, Veritas) and the
attribute (for example, mkvxfscmd) that can be found in the
/etc/device.tab file. The MediaMgr will use this attribute to
locate the actual UNIX system command to make the file system
on the floppy.
The entry on the FsTable list has the following format:
messageFiles:messageNumber:defaultLabel<tab>attribute
Users can add more entries to this table, provided they also
include the corresponding attribute=value pair in the
/etc/device.tab file.
For example, to make an s5 file system through the MediaMgr,
users need to add the following line to FsTable:
dtmedia:401:s5 mkfscmd
To make the s5 file system, users also need to have the
following attribute=value pair in the /etc/device.tab file:
mkfscmd="/sbin/mkfs -F s5 /dedsk/f0t 28844:711 2 36
