<title>Creating the /etc/fstab file</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>In order for certain programs to be able to determine where certain
|
|
partitions are supposed to be mounted by default, the /etc/fstab file is
|
|
used. A new file <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> is created containing the
|
|
following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>cat > /etc/fstab << "EOF"</userinput>
|
|
# Begin /etc/fstab
|
|
|
|
# location of filesystem mount point fs-type options
|
|
|
|
/dev/*LFS-partition device* / *fs-type* defaults 1 1
|
|
/dev/*swap-partition device* swap swap defaults 0 0
|
|
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
|
|
|
# End /etc/fstab
|
|
<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen></para>
|
|
|
|
<para><userinput>*LFS-partition device*</userinput>,
|
|
<userinput>*swap-partition device*</userinput>
|
|
and <userinput>*fs-type*</userinput> have to be replaced with the
|
|
appropriate values (/dev/hda2, /dev/hda5 and reiserfs for example).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When adding a reiserfs partition, the <userinput>1 1</userinput> at
|
|
the end of the line should be replaced with <userinput>0 0</userinput>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For more information on the various fields which are in the fstab
|
|
file, see <userinput>man 5 fstab</userinput>.</para>
