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.
