[solved]Forgot to genfstab

My fstand looks like this:

[khajvah@khajvaharch ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

I am not sure but I think I forgot to genfstab when I was installing my arch. How can I generate it now or how can I edit it by hand?

Re: [solved]Forgot to genfstab

It is perfectly fine to edit /etc/fstab by hand, assuming you know how.  However, it is probably easier to load up the live image again, mount your filesystems under /mnt and run:

# genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

as indicated in Generate an fstab of the Beginners Guide.

NOTE: You don't have to repeat the whole install to use the genfstab command, you just need the filesystems mounted somewhere.
