/etc/fstab
File for predefined mountpoints
Name:
/etc/fstab
Description:
The /etc/fstab file contains descriptive information about filesystems.
Programs read it, but don't write it; it's the duty
of the system administrator to properly create and maintain this file.
Each filesystem is described on a separate line; fields on each line are separated by tabs or spaces.
Lines beginning with # are comments.
specialdevice mountpoint type mountoptions
/dev/hd0t177 /mnt/fs qnx6 rw
mount -t qnx6 /dev/hd0t177 /mnt/fs
The mountoptions field is a comma-separated list of values that must contain, at a minimum, one of ro or rw to indicate a read-only or a read-write mount.
By default, the mount is performed with the type as if the -t option had been specified (device and server doing the mount are the same) but to get the -T type behavior, you should specify allservers in the options.
# This is a sample file that shows the mapping of command line
# arguments to the fstab entries and how they would be invoked.
# The "implied" argument is not generally required, but some
# servers may differentiate between implied and specified entries.
# mount -b -vvv -t mytype /my/specialdev1 /my/mountpoint1
# mount -vvv /my/mountpoint1
/my/specialdev1 /my/mountpoint1 mytype rw
# mount -b -vvv -t mytype /my/specialdev2
# mount -vvv /my/specialdev2
/my/specialdev2 / mytype rw,implied
# mount -b -vvv -T mytype /my/specialdev3 /my/mountpoint3
# mount -vvv /my/mountpoint3

# mount -b -vvv -T mytype /my/specialdev4
