/etc/fstab: Automating the Mount Process
The file /etc/fstab (it stands for ``filesystem table'') contains
descriptions of filesystems that you mount often. These filesystems can
then be mounted with a shorter command, such as mount /cdrom. You can also
configure filesystems to mount automatically when the system boots. You'll
probably want to mount all of your hard disk filesystems when you boot, so
Debian automatically adds entries to fstab to do this for you.
Look at this file now by typing more /etc/fstab. It will have two or more
entries that were configured automatically when you installed the system.
It probably looks something like this:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# #
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /tmp ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda7 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,sync 0 0
The first column lists the device the filesystem resides on.
