The fstab file lists the available disk partitions and other disk-related file systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mount command reads it and automatically mounts most entries during system boot. A set of rules in the fstab command controls how the system treats different filesystems each time it introduces them. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/level-3-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">system administrators<\/a> handle the maintenance of the fstab command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-structure-of-the-fstab-command\"><\/span>The structure of the fstab command<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fstab stands for files system table. The six-column structure of that table requires setting up parameters in each column in the correct order. We will explain the columns separately, and important to know is that they are as follows from left to right:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">[Device] [Mount Point] [File System Type] [Options] [Dump] [Pass]<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s explain all these in more detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Device:<\/strong> The UUID of the mounted device. (sda, sdb, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mount Point:<\/strong> Your root file system mounts the device on this directory. The names of the mount points must not have spaces between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>File System Type:<\/strong> Type of file system. It can be vfat, ntfs, ext4, ext3, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Options:<\/strong> Options depend on the file system. It lists any active mount options. If there are multiple options, they must be separated by commas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dump<\/strong> (Backup Operation): The backup operation can have two values, 0 OR 1. If the value is 0, then there is no backup. It is disabled. Otherwise, if it is 1, then the backup of the partition is enabled. System administrators set this field to 0, as it uses an obsolete method they should avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pass <\/strong>(File System Check Order): The file system check determines the partition checking order during system boot. If the value is 0, then the <strong>fsck<\/strong> (file system check) will not check the filesystem. If the value is higher than 0 and is 1, then the order check should be set for the root filesystem. The other partitions should be set with 2, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-usage-of-the-fstab-command\"><\/span>The usage of the fstab command<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>System administrators use the fstab for internal devices, CD\/DVD drives, and network shares. Additionally, system administrators can add removable devices to fstab. System administrators configure partitions listed in fstab to mount automatically during boot. Only root users can see and mount partitions not listed in fstab. As we already explained the structure of the fstab command, we will now look at the content of the \/etc\/fstab file. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cat \/etc\/fstab<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get an output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# cat \/etc\/fstab \n# \/etc\/fstab: static file system information.\n#\n# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a\n# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices\n# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).\n#\n# systemd generates mount units based on this file, see systemd.mount(5).\n# Please run 'systemctl daemon-reload' after making changes here.\n#\n#                \n# \/ was on \/dev\/vda1 during installation\nUUID=1fa0d2dd-2039-44cf-bd49-c2c765693d9a \/ ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1     1\n\/dev\/vda2    none    swap    sw  0   0\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the fstab has the following parameters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Device: <strong>UUID=1fa0d2dd-2039-44cf-bd49-c2c765693d9a<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Point: <strong>\/<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>File System Type: <strong>ext4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Options: <strong>errors=remount-ro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dump (Backup Operation): <strong>0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pass (File System Check Order): <strong>1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Useful-Commands\"><\/span>Useful Commands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some useful commands that you can use for listing drives, mounting, and creating mount points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> To get a list of all UUIDs, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ls -l \/dev\/disk\/by-uuid<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You will get an output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# ls -l \/dev\/disk\/by-uuid\ntotal 0\nlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 10 06:34 1fa0d2dd-2039-44cf-bd49-c2c765693d9a -&gt; ..\/..\/vda1\nlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Aug 10 06:34 706a6c4b-2cb1-4de0-899d-1e858ac12204 -&gt; ..\/..\/vda2\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> To list the drivers and relevant attached partitions, you can use the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo fdisk -l<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving you an output similar to the below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# fdisk -l\nDisk \/dev\/vda: 80 GiB, 85899345920 bytes, 167772160 sectors\nUnits: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes\nSector size (logical\/physical): 512 bytes \/ 512 bytes\nI\/O size (minimum\/optimal): 512 bytes \/ 512 bytes\nDisklabel type: dos\nDisk identifier: 0x076a3d03\n\nDevice     Boot     Start       End   Sectors  Size Id Type\n\/dev\/vda1  *         2048 165675008 165672961   79G 83 Linux\n\/dev\/vda2       165675009 167772159   2097151 1024M 82 Linux swap \/ Solaris\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> To mount all file systems in \/etc\/fstab, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo mount -a<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> To create a new mount point, using root privileges, you can use the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo mkdir \/path\/to\/mountpoint<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> To check the content of the fstab, we already mentioned the command in the previous paragraph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cat \/etc\/fstab<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Any-other-fstab-options\"><\/span>Any other fstab options?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course.
