Administration files

This section describes the administration files.

The administration files /etc/mnttab and /etc/vfstab are employed for the application of bs2fs file systems, as is customary for file system management in POSIX.

The /etc/mnttab file is automatically created by POSIX at startup and updated with each mount/umount operation.

The entries for ufs file systems and native file systems in the /etc/vfstab file are created by the POSIX installation program. Entries for nfs and bs2fs file systems can be processed by the administrator (root authorization) using an editor.

The administration files are listed in the table below:

File	Function
/etc/mnttab	Table of the mounted files systems
/etc/vfstab	Table of the defined files systems
