MTAB(V) 1/6/74 MTAB(V)
NAME
mtab - mounted file system table
DESCRIPTION
Mtab resides in directory /etc and contains a table of
devices mounted by the mount command. Umount removes
entries.
Each entry is 64 bytes long; the first 32 are the null-
padded name of the place where the special file is mounted;
the second 32 are the null-padded name of the special file.
The special file has all its directories stripped away; that
is, everything through the last ``/'' is thrown away.
This table is present only so people can look at it. It
does not matter to mount if there are duplicated entries nor
to umount if a name cannot be found.
