2<title>Creating the /etc/fstab file</title>

4<para>In order for certain programs to be able to determine where certain
5partitions are supposed to be mounted by default, the /etc/fstab file is
6used. Create a new file <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> containing the
7following:</para>
8
9<para><screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/fstab &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
10# Begin /etc/fstab
11
12# location of filesystem mount point fs-type options
13
14/dev/*LFS-partition device* / *fs-type* defaults 1 1
15/dev/*swap-partition device* swap swap defaults 0 0
16proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
17
18# End /etc/fstab
19<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen></para>
20
21<para><userinput>*LFS-partition device*</userinput>,
22<userinput>*swap-partition device*</userinput>
23and <userinput>*fs-type*</userinput> have to be replaced with the
24appropriate values (/dev/hda2, /dev/hda5 and reiserfs for example).</para>
25
26<para>When adding a reiserfs partition, the <userinput>1 1</userinput> at
27the end of the line should be replaced with <userinput>0 0</userinput>.</para>
28
29<para>For more information on the various fields which are in the fstab
30file, see <userinput>man 5 fstab</userinput>.</para>
31
32<para>There are other lines which you may consider adding to your fstab
33file. One example is the line which you must have if you are using
34devpts:</para>
35<para><screen>none /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0</screen></para>
36
37<para>Another example is a line to use if you intend to use USB
38devices:</para>
39<para><screen>none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0</screen></para>
40
41<para>Both of these options will only work if you have the relevant
42support compiled into your kernel.</para>
