NAME

fstab − file system table

DESCRIPTION

The fstab contains information about file systems.  It is used by various system commands to obtain a default argument list and to control mounting and dismounting of file systems. 

Each line of the fstab describes one file system, as follows:
special:directory:mode

Special is the special filename for the file system.  Directory is the name of the directory where the file system will be mounted.  Mode is the access mode of the file system, read/write or read only.  Setting the mode to ’xx’ causes the entry to be ignored.  The order of entries in the fstab is important.  Read ULTRIX-11 System Management Guide, Section 4.6.8 for a more complete description of the fstab and its usage.
