fstab is empty after update

Postby bugbugbug » Wed Nov 28, 2012 11:13 pm

Hi,

i made an update and got a fstab.pacnew file...

I'm using the latest Version downloadable on raspberrypi.org.

old (fstab):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p4 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
')

new (fstab.pacnew)
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
')

i'm confused ;)

devpts, shm and /dev/mmcblk0p1 are in fstab since installation.
/dev/mmcblk0p3 and /dev/mmcblk0p4 are additional patitions made by me.

how to merge these 2 files?
can somebody help me?

thx!

infos:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@raspberry /]# uname -a

You're safe to remove the devpts & shm I beleive.

It's not just a pi thing...Arch just updated on my desktop as well and spit out a /etc/fstab.pacnet...As long as everything works, you're fine.

Nao...about that swap space...on an SD card..really?

thx for your answers...i'm going to experiment with some fstab configs

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('xenoxaos', 'N')ao...about that swap space...on an SD card..really?


yeah i know this could be dangerous ;)
i always monitor the swap space and using a low swappiness...the most time the swap is empty.
i just use swap to experiment with it.
