Learn to mount linux partitions automatically using fstab. fstab is the operating system’s file system table. fstab is located inside /etc directory. fstab contains six columns for the mounting. The first column is the disk partition which we want to mount. Normally, we provide the UUID(Unique Universal Identifier) of the disk partition in this column. We can use the following command to get the UUID of disk partitions: • sudo blkid • In the second column, we have to define the mount point for the disk partition. The third column takes the type of file system eg. ext4, xfs, swap etc. The forth column is for the options that we would like to have for our mounted disk partition. The fifth column is for dump i.e. the backup of the partition. In this column, we can provide either 1 to keep backup of our partition or 0 to ignore the backup. The sixth column is for the pass value which is related to the fsck(file system check) i.e. to see if the file system has any errors. Here, we can give 0 to ignore file system check, 1 to apply high priority for file system check or 2 to apply low priority for file system check. • After saving the mounts in fstab, we must reboot our machine to apply all those changes. • fdisk for MBR: • fdisk on Linux CentOS 8 • gdisk for GPT: • gdisk on Linux CentOS 8 • vi command: • #20 - vi command on Linux CentOS 8 • Linux CentOS 8 tutorials: • #1 - Introduction of Linux • Facebook: / techvitals
