File system support on AIX
AIX® supports various file systems.
AIX supports disk quotas.
AIX does not allow mounting of diskettes as file systems.
The syntax of the mount and umount commands for AIX differs from 4.3 BSD and from SVR4 versions of these commands. The commands to mount and unmount all file systems at once are shown for all three systems in the following table:
mount and unmount

|---|---|---|---|
| mount all file systems | mount all | mount -a | mountall |
| unmount all file systems | umount all | umount -a | umountall |
