[SOLVED] - /etc/fstab #current standard

PReP · 2012-01-16 12:28:41

I just went trough some leftover .pacnew files,
and noticed a fstab.pacnew.

It seems newer then my current fstab, and i usually manually adjust my core-conf files by hand,
but i wonder if i missed this one.

I see these lines differing:

Current fstab:

devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0

-----------------

The .pacnew one, instead, has only:

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0

-----------------

I tried finding out which package has the current fstab on abs/arch ftp, but i didn't know where to look.

But the actual question is; which one is the current recommended version, those two lines in my current fstab,
or should i replace them both with the new tmpfs only - or just replace the shm one?

I lost track on which one is the most recent

As you can see, these changes are from July ...

The current fstab can be found here: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … runk/fstab

You should have just two files: foo and foo.pacnew. You can edit foo and copy the changes from foo.pacnew to foo, then remove foo.pacnew.

Ah, by this i concur that this line should be added - and the other ones removed?

Thanks for a self-help kind of answer,
and in such an elegant way

Much appreciated

That's right.

You should take care of your pacnew file more often though - after each update.

You are right, i usually do - and are keeping a quite tidy /etc - but i have slacked off for a bit this time.
But i should not slack, since this is not that distro, but Arch (silly slackware pun )

On another note i took the time to remove the old MODULES-BLACKLIST comments in rc.conf aswell now,
and tidied up ntp.conf

Thanks for your time Karol .
