20.4.6.1 Mounting and Unmounting Resources

To mount and unmount resources we have the mount, mountall, umount, and umountall commands. With the mount command you can specify the file system type (-F) and options to be used (-o) for the mount. With the mountall command you can designate a file system type (-F) and either local (-l) or remote (-r) file systems. Use umount to unmount a file system. There are similar options for the umountall command with the addition of a kill (-k) option to send a kill signal to all processes with open files on the indicated systems.

Your local systems are mounted when going to run level 2 by /etc/rc2.d/S01MOUNTFSYS. NFS clients resources are mounted at run level 2 also by the S73nfs.client script.
