Fstab Questions (Final time)
At least I hope it's the final time.
I know that I have posted this question before, but due to reinstalling
the OS, I have a clean slate at this point. Now, I've done quite a bit
of goggling and utubing and I want to be sure that I'm not going to
crash the system when I add two drives to the fstab.
Here is my current drive structure:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 457.9G 0 part /
├─sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part
└─sda5 8:5 0 7.9G 0 part [SWAP]
sdb 8:16 0 1.8T 0 disk
├─sdb1 8:17 0 1.8T 0 part
├─sdb2 8:18 0 1K 0 part
└─sdb5 8:21 0 7.9G 0 part
sdc 8:32 0 465.8G 0 disk
└─sdc1 8:33 0 465.8G 0 part
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
sdc is a new SSD and I formatted it with only one partition. sdb still
has a previous OS that I intend removing.
Here are the the results of blkid:
/dev/sda1: UUID="71f1ed49-9178-4bbc-b872-510f7982e245" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="1435f170-01"
/dev/sda5: UUID="4b041dec-d00f-4acf-a731-f6a34d885105" TYPE="swap"
PARTUUID="1435f170-05"
/dev/sdc1: UUID="1f363165-2c59-4236-850d-36d1e807099e" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="eb2be395-01"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="900b5f0b-4f3d-4a64-8c91-29aee4c6fd07" TYPE="ext4"
PARTUUID="0bc7db76-01"
/dev/sdb5: UUID="7c386aca-a547-475f-8616-f7664f93c595" TYPE="swap"
PARTUUID="0bc7db76-05"
Here is the curerent fstab (missing exteraneous comment statements):
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=71f1ed49-9178-4bbc-b872-510f7982e245 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=4b041dec-d00f-4acf-a731-f6a34d885105 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
Finally, here is what I am proposing adding to the fstab:
UUID=900b5f0b-4f3d-4a64-8c91-29aee4c6fd07 /sdb1 ext4 rw,users,defaults 0 0
UUID=1f363165-2c59-4236-850d-36d1e807099e /sdc1 ext4 rw,users,defaults 0 0
Note: I have added /sdb1 and /sdc1.
The only questions at this point are:
1. Will these changes crash the system,and
2. Will I be able to read adn write to the added drives?
Thanks in advance.
