Molnar <s.mol...@sbcglobal.net> To: COLUG <colug-...@colug.net> I have just reinstalled Debian Stretch and have soee questions about the fstab. I have installed a new hdc. Here is my durectiry stucture: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk ??sda1 8:1 0 457.9G 0 part / ??sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part ??sda5 8:5 0 7.9G 0 part [SWAP] sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk ??sdb1 8:17 0 1.8T 0 part /media/comp/900b5f0b-4f3d-4a64-8c91-29aee4c6fd07 ??sdb2 8:18 0 1K 0 part ??sdb5 8:21 0 7.9G 0 part sdc 8:32 0 465.8G 0 disk ??sdc1 8:33 0 465.8G 0 part /media/comp/1f363165-2c59-4236-850d-36d1e807099e sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom Here is what I have the installed fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=4dc278b7-1792-4e89-b67e-a517fce97d19 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=acfb9d26-69c6-4489-88fc-12f5c50bda97 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 Here is what I'm proposing: /dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 1 <========== /dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0 <========== /dev/sdb1 /hdb1 ext4 defaults 0 0 <========== /dev/sdc1 /hdc1 ext4 defaults 0 0 <========== There are two key questions: 1. Will the boot proceed to completion? 2. Will users have read/write permission? Finally, if the answer(s), to either or both, is/are 'no' - what should the fstab entries be in order to allow users to Read/Write? Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.
