Mount filesystems
Up one level
-
Mounting the above filesystems properly is accomplished with the following
/etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static filesystem information.
#
# filesystem mount point type options dump pass
/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0
#
# keep partitions separate
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda8 /var ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda6 /var/lib/cvs ext2 defaults 0 2
# noatime will speed up file access for read access
/dev/hda9 /usr ext2 defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/hda10 /var/cache/apt/archives ext2 defaults 0 2
# very big partition for proxy cache
/dev/hda11 /var/spool/squid ext2 rw 0 2
# backup bootable DOS
/dev/hda1 /mnt/dos vfat rw,noauto 0 0
# backup bootable Linux system (not done)
/dev/hda2 /mnt/linux ext2 rw,noauto 0 0
#
# nfs mounts
mickey:/ /mnt/mickey nfs ro,noauto,intr 0 0
goofy:/ /mnt/goofy nfs ro,noauto,intr 0 0
# minnie:/ /mnt/minnie smbfs ro,soft,intr,credentials={filename} 0 2
For NFS, I use noauto,intr combined with the default hard option. This way, it is possible to recover from a hung process due to a dead connection using Ctrl-C.
For a Windows machine connected with Samba (smbfs), rw,auto,soft,intr may be good idea. See Samba configuration, Section 3.5.
For a floppy drive, using noauto,rw,sync,user,exec instead prevents file corruption after accidental disk eject before unmount, but this slows the write process.
