[SuSE Linux] fstab definitions
Where do I find an explanation of the various entries in the fstab file? I need to access two partitions (one is FAT32) . TIA Henry - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Try man mount. Or, look at page 346-347 in the 5.3 manual. Hope this helps. Steve. ------------------------------------ Steve Pauly (281) 496-8041 Global Marine Drilling Co. stevep@linux-shell.net steve.pauly@glm.com gmdcman@mindspring.com On Mon, 23 Nov 1998, EGRET Lures wrote:

The first one tells dump, if the filesystem needs to get backed up (0 == no, 1 == yes) and the second one tells whether or not fsck should check the filesystem. See `man fstab', it's explained in detail there. Ciao, Stefan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
<PRE> Well, maybe someone can tell me where the fstab man page is in SuSE 5.3? I have install the All man pages package (allman) but I still cannot find the fstab man page. It is however on my other machine that has version 5.2 installed. Hey SuSE, did you leave some man pages out of 5.3? Stefan Troeger wrote:

At the command line (xterm if you're in X) just type in info fstab The page will automagically generate right before your very eyes! BTW - man pages are being replaced by Infotex files; any reference to 'man' can generally be taken to imply 'info' as the first choice since it's likely to be more up to date and complete. Unfortunately, not all the info pages are available yet. -- Henry White <A HREF="mailto:henryw@gte.net">mailto:henryw@gte.net</A> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
<PRE> I am afraid not. When I tried it info displayed the following: --------------------------- File: *manpages*, Node: fstab, Up: (dir) No manual entry for fstab --------------------------- I still believe version 5.3 is missing fstab's documentation. Avi Henry White wrote:

I wouldn't know about that. I've used update on mine since S.u.S.E.5.1. They should be installed under /usr/info and /usr/man. (The HOWTOs are under /usr/doc/howto.) On the first CD under /full-names/i386 there are two packages the manXXX.rpm and texinfoXXX.rpm (don't recall the version numbers, but you shouldn't have any trouble finding them). It would be better to install them using YaST. -- Henry White <A HREF="mailto:henryw@gte.net">mailto:henryw@gte.net</A> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You are right -- (I installed practically everything from 5.3 and I did not get it either) An old copy of redhat 5.0 I have has it as a part of the mount-2.7f-1 package, but SuSE uses the util-2.6-24 package to contain mount, so I guess it got left out. You can probably locate a copy of redhat'ss mount-2.7f-1.src.rpm and install the man pages from it. (or talk SuSE into putting it out on their ftp site.) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Not in the SuSE 5.3 I have here, it's not. It _is_ in the ldpmande, ldpmanfr and ldpmanit packages (in German, French and Italian) but it's definately not in the ldpman package.

All I originally asked was where to find the explanations for the fields in fstab esp. the last two digits in the line. I have not been able to find the man or howto or anything else in my Eng. Distribution. Maybe it could be posted at the website just in case.

It is indeed not contained in the usual place, package ldpman. We will investigate on this subject. For the time being, I've attached it to this message, I hope nobody feels "spammed" :) Bye, LenZ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH <A HREF="mailto:grimmer@suse.de">mailto:grimmer@suse.de</A> Schanzaeckerstr. 10 <A HREF="http://www.suse.de/~grimmer"><A HREF="http://www.suse.de/~grimmer</A">http://www.suse.de/~grimmer</A</A>> 90443 Nuernberg, Germany </PRE> <A HREF="bin00008.bin"> fstab.5.gz</A></P>
Hello All, I shutted down my system (suse 5.3) to remove a cd-rom drive to use in another computer. After turned on again I got some error messages at boot time: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device Setting up network device eth0. SIOCSIFADDR: No such device SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device Setting up routing (using /etc/route.conf). SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Error while excuting: /sbin/route add default gw 143.106.39.190 and then no more net connection... Can anybody help me? I have no idea what is this...
