The configuration file /etc/fstab contains
the necessary information to automate the process of mounting
partitions. In a nutshell, mounting is the process where a raw
(physical) partition is prepared for access and assigned a location on
the file system tree (or mount point).

- In
general fstab is used for internal devices, CD/DVD devices, and
network shares (samba/nfs/sshfs). Removable devices such as flash drives
*can* be added to fstab, but are typically mounted by
gnome-volume-manager and are beyond the scope of this document. - Options for mount and fstab are similar.
- Partitions listed in fstab can be configured to automatically mount during the boot process.
- If a device/partition is not listed in fstab ONLY ROOT may mount the device/partition.
- Users may mount a device/partition if the device is in fstab with the proper options.
