usb devices - /etc/fstab

Post by jsfarinet »

Since after the first starts of Salix i had problems with usb sticks i thought it might be necessary to have a statement in /etc/fstab. I edited a statement which i presume it was created while installing salix (there was a second usb drive attached). The line now looks like this (i created also the directory /mnt/usb):

Code: Select all

/dev/sdb1        /mnt/usb	  vfat        fmask=133,dmask=022 1   0
Then, i have this line whch seems pretty much out of use (at least with a modern laptop):

Code: Select all

/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,users,rw,umask=00 0   0
Is it save to delete that lines?

Moreover, the cdromline is there, but commented out, correctly since the laptop hasn't one. A usb dvd drive will be recognized anyway (or would i have to uncomment that line)?

Don't put removable drives in your fstab, unless you only want to mount them manually through the command line and the mount command.
