"nodev" simply means that you can't use a file in there as a device. e.g.
/filesystem/dev/rmtx. Not something you'd want to do, all that often!
A removable filesystem is one with removable media that doesn't need to be
unmounted before the media is changed. When the filesystem isn't in use,
AIX does not store any meta data, because next time someone accesses the
filesystem it could be completely different, someone having changed the
disk. I'm not sure if there's anything like that still around.

Subject: mount as removable and nodev
Hi
Can anyone provide me an example to explain mount the file system as a
removable file system? and under mount option, there is nodev, what is it?
Thanks in advance for any reply may help.
