I'd appreciate it if somebody could please have a look at my /etc/fstab file shown below and let me know if it's OK. I've searched this mailing list's archives and an example /etc/fstab I found was a bit different to mine. I also had a look at the /etc/fstab files on a Ubuntu and Debian systems, but they weren't as detailed as mine.
In particular, I'd like to know whether it is my /boot partition or / partition that has to be checked by fsck. Is it OK for /boot to be ext3, or should I have made it ext2? Googling it suggests that it's probably better for it to be ext2, but ext3 should do fine as well. :; mount ... /dev/sda5 on /mnt/lfs/boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda6 on /mnt/lfs type ext3 (rw,commit=0,commit=0) /dev/sda7 on /mnt/lfs/opt type ext3 (rw,commit=0,commit=0) /dev/sda8 on /mnt/lfs/usr/src type ext3 (rw,commit=0,commit=0) /dev/sda9 on /mnt/lfs/home type ext3 (rw,commit=0,commit=0) /dev on /mnt/lfs/dev type none (rw,bind) devpts on /mnt/lfs/dev/pts type devpts (rw) shm on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw) proc on /mnt/lfs/proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /mnt/lfs/sys type sysfs (rw) root@hostname:~# file -s /dev/sda[5-9] | awk '{ print $1,$8 }' /dev/sda5: UUID=64b0a82e-4500-49c0-b426-e97562ed0585 /dev/sda6: UUID=a2f6cc54-c7d7-41e9-8e00-123da318f743 /dev/sda7: UUID=140b05f2-6ca5-4cc8-b45b-52e6e6d2e164 /dev/sda8: UUID=a6563b03-a212-47b0-b6cc-7f767768852d /dev/sda9: UUID=0901943d-ab94-423a-accb-cd425d3d13c1 root:/# cat /etc/fstab # Begin /etc/fstab # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> UUID=64b0a82e-4500-49c0-b426-e97562ed0585 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 UUID=a2f6cc54-c7d7-41e9-8e00-123da318f743 / ext3 defaults 0 1 UUID=140b05f2-6ca5-4cc8-b45b-52e6e6d2e164 /opt ext3 defaults 0 2 UUID=a6563b03-a212-47b0-b6cc-7f767768852d /usr/src ext3 defaults 0 2 UUID=0901943d-ab94-423a-accb-cd425d3d13c1 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 UUID=c0882b91-9df5-43f9-b5e3-d77d68b53a33 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0 devtmpfs /dev devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid 0 0 # End /etc/fstab Thanks.
