In reply to Anne's mail, d.d. Wed, 20 Nov 2002 20:17:59 +: If I make alterations to fstab, do I need to reboot, or can I cause it to be read some other way? Depends on the alterations. Usually logging all users out and as root doing a mount -a will suffice. Found this in man mount: (i) The command mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist] (usually given in a bootscript) causes all file systems mentioned in fstab (of the proper type and/or having or not having the proper options) to be mounted as indicated, except for those whose line contains the noauto keyword.
