The order of records in +.B fstab +is important because +.BR fsck (8), +.BR mount (8), +and +.BR umount (8) +sequentially iterate through +.B fstab +doing their thing. + +Each filesystem is described on a separate line. +Fields on each line are separated by tabs or spaces. +Lines starting with '#' are comments. Blank lines are ignored. +.PP +The following is a typical example of an +.B fstab +entry: +.sp +.RS 7 +LABEL=t-home2 /home ext4 defaults,auto_da_alloc 0 2 +.RE + +.B The first field +.RI ( fs_spec ). +.RS +This field describes the block special device, remote filesystem or filesystem +image for loop device to be mounted or swap file or swap partition to be enabled. +.LP +For ordinary mounts, it will hold (a link to) a block special +device node (as created by +.BR mknod (2)) +for the device to be mounted, like `/dev/cdrom' or `/dev/sdb7'. +For NFS mounts, this field is :, e.g., `knuth.aeb.nl:/'. +For filesystems with no storage, any string can be used, and will show up in +.BR df (1) +output, for example. Typical usage is `proc' for procfs; `mem', `none', +or `tmpfs' for tmpfs. Other special filesystems, like udev and sysfs, +are typically not listed in +.BR fstab . +.LP +LABEL=
