Rebuilding /etc/mnttab

From Brandonhutchinson.com

From mnttab(4):

    The file /etc/mnttab is really a file system  that  provides
    read-only  access  to  the table of mounted file systems for
    the current host.

To rebuild /etc/mnttab on Solaris systems on which it is a file system (Solaris 8 and later?), issue the following commands:

# umount /etc/mnttab
# mount -F mntfs mnttab /etc/mnttab
