NAME

6       mtab - mounted file system table
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Mtab  resides in directory /etc and contains a table of devices mounted
10       by the mount command.  Umount removes entries.
11
12       Each entry is 64 bytes long; the first 32 are the null-padded  name  of
13       the  place  where  the  special  file is mounted; the second 32 are the
14       null-padded name of the special file.  The special  file  has  all  its
15       directories  stripped away; that is, everything through the last `/' is
16       thrown away.
17
18       This table is present only so people can look at it.  It does not  mat‐
19       ter  to  mount  if there are duplicated entries nor to umount if a name
20       cannot be found.
