 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

command line. Additional information 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 labelit command for detailed descriptions.


 USAGE

See largefile(7) 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.

flags in /etc/default/fs. For example:
