Veritas File System 5.1 SP1 Administrator"s Guide (5900-1499, April 2011)

and Veritas-installed products, the generic mount command executes the VxFS
mount command from the directory /sbin/fs/vxfs. If the -F option is not
supplied, the command searches the file /etc/fstab for a file system and an
fstype matching the special file or mount point provided. If no file system type is
specified, mount uses the default file system type (VxFS).
The mount command automatically runs the VxFS fsck command to clean up the
intent log if the mount command detects a dirty log in the file system. This
functionality is only supported on file systems mounted on a Veritas Volume
Manager (VxVM) volume.
