     Name
          fstab - File system mount and check commands.

     Description
          fstab is an ASCII text file containing information that is
          passed to the mount(C) and fsck(C) commands that are
          executed from /etc/rc.  A typical /etc/fstab file might look
          like this:

               # device  directory optional flags
               /dev/u         /u        fsckflags="-y -D"
               /dev/archive   /archive  mountflags="-r" fsckflags="-f"

          The first column lists the device to be mounted and the
          second column gives the mount point (directory) for the
          device.

          The third column lists any optional flags.  Optional flags
          are:

               fsckflags -    Flags that are passed to fsck.
               mountflags     -    Flags that are passed to mount.
               prompt         -    If set to ``y'', prompts whether or
               not to                mount filesystem.  Default is
               ``n''.

          Comment lines start with a number sign (#).
