New fstab paths question.

archuser · 2006-09-27 18:23:52

Ok. I've just upgraded to 2.6.18. I've seen a few times to upgrade my fstab paths; however, I've failed to find any information on it.

Could somebody explain to me exactly what is to be done? Thanks.

My current fstab:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none            /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none            /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/hdd        /mnt/cd   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd        /mnt/dvd  udf       ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/fd0       /mnt/fl   vfat      user,noauto             0      0

/dev/hdb3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0

/dev/hda1 /mnt/hd/ubuntu ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/hd/backup_and_music ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/usbdisk vfat noauto,user,umask=000 0 0

Your fstab is fine. I'm pretty sure the path mention was old, having to do with devfs pathing (/dev/discs/disc0/part2 == /dev/hda2)

Cheers. So for all the time I've used linux this has always been the new way.

It confused me when it said it was deprecated in favour of the old style.

why all those .pacnew files with todays updates?
most of them are useless right?

Don't assume that - you should compare the files to what you have to check for any changes.

network:!::

while /etc/gshadow.pacnew has

network:x::
