I wouldnt overwrite without checking first either. I'm OK with hand typing - but these bloody UUIDs etc are a bit hard to check and even with cut and paste (only access over ssh) its a bit hairy. And as for build time - these sodding USB devices often arnt there at build time!On Thu, 30 Sep 2010, tom wrote:I've got my system mounting drives as I want itMany moons ago one could type mount -p>/etc/fstab to get the current settings to be setup on boot.This not longer works Any idea how to do that now?mount -p is for mounting a device with an encryption passphrase..I'd sort of suggest that blindly overwriting /etc/fstab is a bad idea though - especially if you have devices mounted after the system boots - because if they're not there at the next boot, you'll have issues...mount on it's own will list the mounted filesystems, but not in a format suitable for /etc/fstabI don't know of a way to list mounts in that format - it's never something that I've ever considered... I actually hand-craft my /etc/fstab at system build time and never bother with any sortof automounter, hardware detect bloatware... but then, I'm not afraid to hand-type a mount command...Tom te tom te tom
ASFAIK USB devices are no longer in fstab and haven't been for some time. All USB stuff is taken care of by HAL/udev these days. Keith -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
