--- Begin Message ---Package: mount Version: 2.20.1-5.5 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/share/man/man5/fstab.5.gz The first field (fs_spec). This field describes the block special device or remote filesys- tem to be mounted. For ordinary mounts it will hold (a link to) a block special device node (as created by mknod(8)) for the device to be mounted, like `/dev/cdrom' or `/dev/sdb7'. For NFS mounts one will have <host>:<dir>, e.g., `knuth.aeb.nl:/'. For procfs, use `proc'. Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume label (cf. e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>, e.g., `LABEL=Boot' or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'. This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label. Note that mount(8) uses UUIDs as strings. The string representa- tion of the UUID should be based on lower case characters. ...The third field (fs_vfstype)... An entry swap denotes a file or partition to be used for swap- ping, cf. swapon(8). An entry ignore causes the line to be ignored. This is useful to show disk partitions which are cur- rently unused. An entry none is useful for bind or move mounts. OK, then The first field (fs_spec) above should mention swap file paths can be used too.
