How does the fstab 'defaults' option work? Is relatime recommended?

http://askubuntu.com – I know the fstab defaults option means this: rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,nouser,async. But what if I want to add one more option, for example relatime, should I still add defaults too or they are applied anyway? Is it needed to add at least one option? Some examples: 1. UUID=bfb42838-d866-4233-9679-96e7536356df /media/data ext3 defaults 0 2 2. UUID=bfb42838-d866-4233-9679-96e7536356df /media/data ext3 0 2 3. UUID=bfb42838-d866-4233-9679-96e7536356df /media/data ext3 defaults,relatime 0 2 4. UUID=bfb42838-d866-4233-9679-96e7536356df /media/data ext3 relatime 0 2 Is the (2) correct(no option at a (HowTos)

Partitions do not always mount 3 years 28 weeks ago

I am running Fedora 12 i686. I have three hard drives in my computer with multiple partitions. Three of these partitions are mounted in /mnt by fstab. sdc10, sdb11, sdc1. all are EXT3.

This is my fstab:

# # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Sat Jan 12 02:12:44 2013 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # UUID=fb2b6c2e-a8d7-4855-b109-c9717264da8a / ext4 auto,noatime,noload,data=ordered,commit=10,defaults 1 1 UUID=71362665-f627-41e1-a0

Figured I would post my FSTAB, SYSLINUX.CFG, MKINITCPIO.CONF, and MDADM.CONF$> nano /etc/fstab# /dev/md1 UUID=28ca7c4c-6e3b-4f7f-8859-d8ee2560cee9 none swap defaults 0 0

# /dev/mapper/ArchLinux-001 UUID=46b99467-ea15-410d-9991-1833e49d6a64 / ext4 rw,relatime,stripe=256,data=ordered 0 1

# /dev/mapper/ArchLinux-002 UUID=2c93e5cf-0752-48a9-b24d-b737583a52f8 /home ext4 rw,relatime,stripe=256,data

[ubuntu] cd-rom is gone 3 years 36 weeks ago

Hi A couple of days ago i switched some of my HDD (all sata), but now ubuntu doesn't find my CD-rom anymore (when i putt in a cd it does nothing, it doesn't even mount the cd at the bootup)

this is my /etc/fstab file

# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # -- This file has been automaticly generated by ntfs-config -- #

fsck died with exit status 8 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi

I need help !

My computer froze yesterday (it happens) but when I reboot, nothing works.

I have only 3 partitions one for boot, one for swap and one for /home It can't find /home.

And I can't find it neither. It seems to have disappeared...

As I can't reboot, I'm running on the live-cd !!

I've installed Fedora 10 short time after it came out. Now I am having some problems unmounting thes drives on restart or shutdown. It hangs at the stage of 'unmounting file system'. I've looked into this matter and discovered that those drives are automatically mounted and shown on the Gnome file browser. As the /etc/fstab indicates, it is not mounted by it.

I cant seem to find anything that will help, here is my fstab

Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). #

After an upgrade on ubuntu 9.10 monday 8 of march I got some problems. On start up I got a message

Code: One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be  mounted:  /home: waiting for UUID= f9fba71d-e17c-4eb4-b531-b0e258853c15 I looked int the /etc/fstab file:
