Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Mounting on boot up Post 14868 by LivinFree on Thursday 7th of February 2002 09:07:52 AM

You want to modify the /etc/fstab file. Anything in there NOT listed as noauto should mount. But you may have problems if the resources aren't available... What I would do if list them in there as noauto, then bring them up manually...

For example, one line in my /etc/fstab might be:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy defaults,noauto 1 1

At the command prompt, I can just type:
mount /dev/fd0
or in some case, just "mount fd0".

Check the man page for mount, and fstab for more info.

gitmount

gitmount(1)						      General Commands Manual						       gitmount(1)

NAME

       gitmount - GNU Interactive Tools - auto-mount script

SYNTAX

       gitmount device

DESCRIPTION

       gitmount  is a script which allows you to mount any block device without specifying the file system type.  You may now insert the floppy in
       the drive and type  ' gitmount fd0' and the first floppy will be mounted in the directory /mnt/fd0.  On Linux just press F11 or	F12.   You
       don't need to know the file system type anymore. The directories /mnt/fd0 and /mnt/fd1 are created if they don't exist.
