Quick reference guide to managing filesystem types

The administrative procedures described here are based on shell commands. If you prefer, however, you can do many tasks through the Filesystem Manager instead.

The following table lists common tasks associated with managing filesystems, and shows both the shell commands and the Filesystem Manager menu items available for performing each task.

Task Description	Menu Selection	Shell Command
Check a filesystem	MountCheck and Repair	fsck(1M)
Display disk usage	-	df(1M)
Display installed types	-	crash(1M)
List files by size	-	du(1M)
Identify a filesystem type	*	fstyp(1M)
List filesystems	*	df(1M)
Create a filesystem	-	mkfs(1M)
Mount a filesystem	MountMount	mount(1M)
Unmount a filesystem	MountUnmount	umount(1M)
