I have a backup drive/fs I want to keep unmounted most of the time. I use it for nightly online backups. Is there a way to have it in the fstab so "mount /backup" will work, but to not have it automatically be mounted during boot. Even better would be to have fsck run on it if it is was not mounted cleanly at bootup, but still not to mount it until explicitly requested.

Use mount option "noauto" in the options field in fstab

Assuming /backup is on /dev/hdb1 and is reiserfs, just put it in your /etc/fstab file : /dev/hdb1 /backup reiserfs defaults,noauto 0 0 Francis
