/etc/fstab


Posts: 10

Hi!

How do I get modifications to the /etc/fstab to remain intact between reboots
of the system? I have a 2nd hard drive with two partitions on it that I would
like to have auto mounted at boot time. Every time I reboot the system it seems
to rebuild the fstab file and my changes to the file are lost.

The partitions in question are:
/dev/hdb5 vfat 32
/dev/hdb6 ext2

I can mount them manually without any problems.

In MEPIS /etc/fstab has two

In MEPIS /etc/fstab has two sections, one dynamic and one fixed, you need to move those entries from dynamic to fixed section (first part of the file)
