Re: [newbie] fstab
Mine looks likes this. Win95 was installed on the first partition of hda and linux on the second partion (hda5) Hope it helps: /dev/hda5 /ext2defaults1 1 /dev/hda6 /homeext2defaults1 2 /dev/hda7 /usr ext2defaults1 2 /dev/hda8 swap swapdefaults0 0 /dev/hda1 /win95 vfatdefaults0 0 /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0 none/procprocdefaults0 0 none/dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0 ___ Sign up today for your Free E-mail at http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail
Re: Re: [newbie] fstab
This is a snippet taken from the fstab man page. I believe it should answer your question: "The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) pro- gram to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be speci- fied with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not pre- sent or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked." ___ Sign up today for your Free E-mail at http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail
Re: Re: [newbie] fstab
Sorry! That last reply was only about the two numbers after "defaults". I'm not sure exactly what the defaults are but I know that you can specify how you want the device to be mounted. For example the line for my floppy drive is this: /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0 Notice instead of "defaults" it says, "sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev, unhide". You can read the "mount" man page for information on what these mean. Hope this helps. ___ Sign up today for your Free E-mail at http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail
