Full Discussion: Mount /etc/fstab

This looks like a mount to a remote system. You should look at using autofs instead. If for some reason that remote system becomes unreachable, and you reboot, it could possibly hang the box while attempting to mount that remote filesystem. With autofs the filesystem is only mounted when it is accessed.

fstab

FSTAB(5)							File Formats Manual							  FSTAB(5)

NAME

       fstab, mtab - list of file systems to mount, mounted file system table.

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/fstab

       /etc/mtab

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/fstab  is  a table of file system to mount at boot time, /etc/mtab is a table of currently mounted file systems as maintained by mount
       and umount.

       /etc/fstab is not read by mount as it should be.  It is instead a simple shell script listing the three devices that Minix needs  to  oper-
       ate:   The device names of the root file system, the temporary (scratch) file system, and the file system for /usr.  Of these only the /usr
       file system is mounted in /etc/rc, the scratch file system is there for the system administrator to test new kernels,  or  as  a  temporary
       file system.

       /etc/mtab contains lines of four fields.  The layout is:

	      device	directory    type    options

       These fields may be explained as follows:

       device
	      A block special device.

       directory
	      Mount point.

       type
	      Either 1, or 2, indicating a V1 or V2 file system.

       options
	      Either ro, or rw, indicating a read-only or read-write mounted file system.

FILES

       /etc/fstab     Shell script naming three important file systems.

       /etc/mtab      List of mounted file systems.

SEE ALSO

       printroot(8), mount(1), fsck(1), mkfs(1).

BUGS

       /etc/fstab is a joke.
