Basics

The ordering of /etc/fstab is

  1. disk
  2. mount point
  3. filesystem type
  4. options
  5. dump
  6. pass

E.g.:

UUID=877f14e8-4738-46b0-884f-ba330dad1a7d /mnt/biggie ext4 nofail,rw,relatime 0 2

UUID=B21648C416488AF5 /mnt/share ntfs nofail,rw,nosuid,nodev,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0

5: Dump

Ignore this obsolete option.

6: Pass

| Number | Meaning | | | | | 0 | Swap (or not mounted) | | 1 | Mount at / | | 2 | Mount somewhere else |

Options

  • nofail means the computer will not fail to boot, even if the drive fails, or is unplugged. It's a good option for everything except /.
  • noauto means 'don't mount on boot' (but you can still mount with mount -a).
