Adding a HDD and fstab
« on: April 30, 2008, 03:06:15 AM »
Hello,
  I have added a couple of extra Hard Drives to my SME server..
I can manually mount these drives and all works fine,  but when I reboot they are no longer mounted as there is no fstab entry.
I am running current updates of sme 7.3  and have refered to Howto http://wiki.contribs.org/AddExtraHardDisk
but believe it is incorrect at the point of "Automount at boot time" and manually editting fstab !

That said..   I cannot work out how I am meant to get these new 'sdc' and 'sdd' drives to automount.

fstab itself says... "This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details"

I am afraid I can't work out what I am supposed todo with 'fstab-sync' to make it update the fstab for me..

appreciate any help / pointers.

The fstab file is probably one of the only files you can edit directly, so it is correct when it mentions manually editing the fstab file.
