GRML-UDEV-REBUILDFSTAB(8)

NAME
grml-udev-rebuildfstab - scan for new devices and add entries to /etc/fstab

DESCRIPTION

grml-udev-rebuildfstab updates /etc/fstab for available devices and partitions.

DETAILS ABOUT GENERATION OF /etc/fstab
If the file /etc/fstab is not present at all a default file will be generated. As devices are added or removed to the system, new entries for for these devices will be added to /etc/fstab. Please note that entries are added to the end of /etc/fstab, so you should not add your own devices below any lines containing "Added by GRML" but instead above the line '"Warning! Please do....'". If a partition contains a filesystem with a filesystem label on it, an entry with LABEL= is generated so you can run 'mount /media/$LABEL'. If multiple filesystems have the same filesystem, label entries with UUID= are generated instead so uniqueness for mounting filesystems can be guaranteed. If duplicate labels are present but UUIDs are not set it is falling back to normal /dev/ice-schema. For present filesystem labels see /dev/disk/by-label/* for the label<->partition mapping. If you want to get details about a filesystem (and if a label is defined) run '"/lib/udev/vol_id /dev/ice'". If you want to disable the LABEL feature take a look at the FAQ below. External USB Devices are named usb-sd*.

FAQ

How to disable the LABEL-feature?
    Set the boot option 'nolabel'.

How do I set uid/gid for the user(s) who should be allowed to access the device?
    Adjust CONFIG_FSTAB_USER and CONFIG_FSTAB_GROUP in /etc/grml/autoconfig. Further updates will then use these new values.
