NAME
     vfstab - table of file system defaults

DESCRIPTION
     The file /etc/vfstab describes defaults for each  file  sys-
     tem.   The information is stored in a table with the follow-
     ing column headings:

     device     device    mount   FS     fsck   mount     mount
     to mount   to fsck   point   type   pass   at boot   options

     The fields in the table are  space-separated  and  show  the
     resource  name,  the  raw  device to fsck, the default mount
     directory, the name of the file system type, the number used
     by fsck to decide whether to check the file system automati-
     cally, whether the file system should be  mounted  automati-
     cally  by mountall, and the mount options.  A '-' is used to
     indicate no entry in a field.  This may be used when a field
     does not apply to the resource being mounted.

     The getvfsent(3C) family of routines is  used  to  read  and
     write to /etc/vfstab.

     /etc/vfstab may be used to specify swap areas. An  entry  so
     specified, (which can be a file or a device), will automati-
     cally be added as a swap area by  the  /sbin/swapadd  script
     when  the  system boots. To specify a swap area, the device-
     to-mount field contains the name of the swap file or device,
     the  FS-type  is "swap", mount-at-boot is "no" and all other
     fields have no entry.
