NAME

rmountall, rumountall − mount, unmount Remote File Sharing resources

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/rmountall [−] file-system-table ...
/usr/sbin/rumountall [ −k ]

AVAILABILITY

SUNWrfsr

DESCRIPTION

rmountall is a Remote File Sharing command used to mount remote resources according to a file-system-table.  (/etc/vfstab is the recommended file-system-table.)  rmountall also invokes the rmnttry command, which attempts to mount queued resources.  The special file name “−” reads from the standard input. 

rumountall causes all mounted remote resources to be unmounted, and deletes all resources that were queued from rmount. 

These commands may be executed only by the super-user. 

The format of the file-system-table is as follows:

column 1block special file name of file system column 2mount-point directory column 3−r if to be mounted read-only; −d if remote resource column 4file system type (not used with Remote File Sharing) column 5+ignored

Columns are separated by white space.  Lines beginning with a hash (#) are comments.  Empty lines are ignored. 

OPTIONS

−k Send a SIGKILL signal, using fuser, to processes that have files open. 

SEE ALSO

DIAGNOSTICS

No messages are printed if the remote resources are successfully mounted. 

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