Down: 1) There are 6 fields to /etc/fstab. 2) ext2 is the older linux filesystem (extended 2), which has been replaced by ext3 and ext4. ext3 offers journalling.4) SD means SCSI disk. SDA means the first SCSI disk. Do not use SDA in /etc/fstab as that refers to the whole drive and we need to refer to a partition on a drive. We use /dev/sda 1 for the first partition or /dev/sda5 for the fifth partition Across: 3) When a PERMANENT MOUNT is needed, we edit the /etc/fstab file. Optional commands include -a to mount all, -r to mount read only and -w to write.5) MOUNT -t TYPE DEVICE DIRECTORY = so there are 5 components to the syntax. -- mount -- -t, type, -- device, -- dir. If you fail to use -t type, minux will be loaded by default... 6) The 6th field, (fs_passno) is used by the FSCK program. To determine the order in which file system checks are done at reboot time.7) /etc/fstab has 6 fields. /DEV/CDROM is the physical device -- /MNT is the empty directory that the device will be mounted to -- ISO9660 is the filesystem type for CD's -- the CD will be mounted read only by the owner rather than automatically mounted.8) /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 9) mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/music -ro10) To unmount a filesystem we use the UMOUNT command. Note that the command has a missing N - it is NOT UNMOUNT but UMOUNT.
