ORIGNAL QUESTION ================= In Solaris-8 setmnt is a "Deprechiated Utility", and don't work, anyone know what the replacement is ? AMOST THE ANSWER ================ From: Casper Dik <Casper.Dik@Sun.COM> "setmnt" was needed because in earlier releases, /etc/mnttab was mai ntained by mount/automount but early in boot, / is read only and the first moutns can be recorded. In S8, /etc/mnttab is a device special file; it contains the actual mount table as stored in the kernel. It is therefor always right and needs to "setmnt" operations. Casper THE CORRECT ANSWER ================== Casper got me going in the right direction, /etc/mnttab is mounted real early on in the boot process, with a special filesystem type of mnttab. This gives the /etc/mnttab file which looks like a file, some special un-file like properties.
