From here, build a new /etc/fstab from scratch, it's pretty basic...
Main things to note...
1) /etc/mtab check it for proc etc.
2) Is my fs ext3 or ext4 or ??? check /etc/mtab.
3) Swap? well the fdisk will tell you if you had it...
4) Any other mounts that I care about, eg. /var etc.
if you have overwritten the fstab file , the good part is to restore it from backup if you dont have any backup in system. If you are not restoring it from backup , it will give adverse effects if there were any SAN mounts or NFS mounts etc.
So try to restore , if you dont have backup...you have to convince yourself.......
You could say the same about anything in /etc/ really... And so design some massive system for maintaining /etc/, creating a swallowed-a-spider-to-kill-the-fly situation -- what do you do when that breaks down, cry?
Restore from backup, of course, because piling software on software hasn't actually made it more reliable, just made an illusion of it.
I want to zip up my fstab file for backup purposes.
This does not work because of permission issues.
cd /etc/
zip -u fstab.zip fstab
Can I use this with zip?
echo xxx | sudo -S
or change fstab owner to me? (3 Replies)
