Permanent File System Mounting in Solaris

To mount a file system permanently on a solaris system in such a 
way that it sustains a reboot is by adding the file system to a particular file that is
read by the system after a reboot/startup .

The file associated with permanent mounting is /etc/vfstab.

There are 7 fileds in /etc/vfstab.


1. Device to mount : Here we need to specify 
    the full path of the block special
    device to mount.
    for eg: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5

2. Device to Fsck : In this field we need to
    specify the raw  device name.
    for eg: /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s5

3. Mount Point : Here we need to specify the
    mount point created for the device.
   
4. FS Type : Here we need to specify the file
    system type.If it is unix file system then 
    ufs or zfs. If it is network file system then
    nfs. If you are using veritas volume 
    manager then Vxfs.

5. Fsck Check : This filed checks the file 
    system during boot on priority basis
    which is mentioned in the ufs boot tab.
    for eg: 1 means to check forcefully ,
    2 means second priority.

6. Auto mount : This field accepts yes or
    no as a value.When set to yes the file
    system will be automatically mounted 
    by mountall after a reboot.

7. Mount options : This field accepts a 
    list of comma separated options that
    are used in mounting the file system.
