When installed, dump checks the entry and uses the number to decide if a file system should be backed up. is used by the dump utility to decide when to make a backup. Access time is only updated if the previous access time was earlier than the current modify or change time (similar to noatime, but doesn't break mutt or other applications that need to know if a file has been read since the last time it was modified). Relatime - update inode access times relative to modify or change time. Nodiratime - do not update directory inode access times on the filesystem. Noatime - do not update inode access times on the filesystem. Nosuid - block the operation of suid, and sgid bits. They are mostly used to allow users on a computer system to execute binary executables with temporarily elevated privileges in order to perform a specific task. Suid - allow the operation of suid, and sgid bits. Nouser - only allow root to mount the filesystem (default).ĭefaults - default mount settings (equivalent to rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,nouser,async). User - permit any user to mount the filesystem (implies noexec,nosuid,nodev unless overridden). Noexec - do not allow binaries to be executed on the filesystem.Īsync - I/O should be done asynchronously.įlush - specific option for FAT to flush data more often, thus making copy dialogs or progress bars to stays up until things are on the disk. Noauto - the filesystem is mounted only when you tell it to.Įxec - allow the execution binaries that are on that partition (default). Some of the more common options are:Īuto - file system will mount automatically at boot, or when the command 'mount -a' is issued. Some options relate only to the filesystem itself. define particular options for filesystems. The 'auto' type lets the mount command to attempt to guess what type of file system is used, this is useful for removable devices such as CDs and DVDs. Some examples are: ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, smbfs, iso9660, vfat, ntfs, swap, and auto. Many different file systems are supported.

defines the file system type of the device or partition to be mounted. indica al comando mount donde debe montar el. define el dispositivo de almacenamiento (i.e. etc/fstab contiene los siguientes campos separados por un espacio o tab: El sistema de arranque siempre los montará. No es necesario listar /proc y /sys en el fstab a menos que se necesiten algunas opciones especiales.
