RE: UNIX

Shoot, had to look up pedantic...

Ok, I agree that df looks at /etc/mnttab to see mounted file systems, but in order for an SA to mount a slice of a disk, that slice information must be present in /etc/vfstab. At least that's the way I learned. It's possible to have a mounted file system without having an entry in /etc/vfstab?? How do you do that? I guess I've never heard of this or tried to mount a slice without putting an entry in /etc/vfstab first. Can you manually manipulate /etc/mnttab?

Thanks,

Julie

Not to be pedantic, but df -k shows all mounted partitions, regardless of whether they are in /etc/vfstab or not. It requires read permisions on /etc/mnttab (whihc should be readable by everyone, but I suppose some sick SA could change it so that only root could read it. The system would function normally, but non-root users wouldn't be able to use df functionally.
