NAME
       fstab, mtab - list of file systems to mount, mounted file system table.

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/fstab

       /etc/mtab

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/fstab  is  a table of file system to mount at boot time, /etc/mtab
       is a table of currently mounted file systems as maintained by mount and
       umount.

       /etc/fstab  is not read by mount as it should be.  It is instead a sim‐
       ple shell script listing the three devices that MINIX 3 needs to	 oper‐
       ate:   the  device  names  of the root file system, the file system for
       /home, and the file system for /usr.

       /etc/mtab contains lines of four fields.	 The layout is:

	      device	directory    type    options

       These fields may be explained as follows:

       device
	      A block special device.

       directory
	      Mount point.

       type
	      Either 1, 2, or 3, indicating a V1, a V2, or a V3 file system.

       options
	      Either ro, or rw, indicating a read-only or  read-write  mounted
	      file system.

FILES
       /etc/fstab     Shell script naming three important file systems.

       /etc/mtab      List of mounted file systems.

SEE ALSO
       printroot(8), mount(1), fsck(1), mkfs(1).

BUGS
       /etc/fstab is a joke.
