I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 and i use for the moment csh. When i test this
command in console
echo -ne "/dev/da0s1\t /mnt/usb\t msdos\t rw,noauto\t 0\t 0" >>
/etc/fstab
and with a cat /etc/fstab,
i have this : -ne /dev/da0s1\t /mnt/usb\t msdos\t rw,noauto\t 0\t 0
The \t is not supported with a echo in csh ? What happened ?
I'm not sure that any echo has ever supported special escape chars.
Maybe it's some Gnu/Linuxism? /bin/echo does the same as csh echo and
the man page mentions no -e flag.
Try printf.
printf %b "/dev/da0s1\t /mnt/usb\t msdos\t rw,noauto\t 0\t 0"
Why aren't you adding a newline? Do your command twice and you have a
broken fstab :-(
printf %b "/dev/da0s1\t /mnt/usb\t msdos\t rw,noauto\t 0\t 0\n"
would, imho, be the right incantation.
