GENFSTAB

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simplified POSIX sh implementation of the Arch Linux tool[1] with the same name.

This implementation is almost pure shell, and it only depends on a few POSIX

utilities. Keep note that this script makes use of files created by the kernel,

and I have not tested this script outside of Linux. So, while the script itself

is POSIX, it may not work outside of Linux.

Pseudo-filesystem identification is better on this implementation for complex

environments. Other than this, syntax and output is identical. If you are

using a simple PC, you will probably not notice any difference.

Installation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install you can simply run 'make install' or without make,

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | $ mkdir -p /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/man/man8                      |

  | $ cp genfstab   /usr/local/bin/genfstab                                  |

  | $ cp genfstab.8 /usr/local/share/man/man8/genfstab.8                     |

  |                                                                          |

  | $ chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/genfstab                                      |

  | $ chmod 644 /usr/local/share/man/man8/genfstab.8                         |

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Usage

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The syntax and usage of genfstab is the same as the Arch Linux tool.

  +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  | # Simply add all mounted devices to fstab                                |

  | $ genfstab >> /etc/fstab                                                 |

  |                                                                          |

  | # Only list mounted devices on /home                                     |

  | $ genfstab -f /home >> /etc/fstab                                        |

  |                                                                          |

  | # Use /mnt as root                                                       |

  | $ genfstab /mnt >> /etc/fstab                                            |

  |                                                                          |

  | # Use PARTUUID identifiers                                               |

  | $ genfstab -t PARTUUID >> /etc/fstab                                     |
