REMOVE INVALID ENTRIES IN ETC/FSTAB

ajin — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:17:51 GMT

ANY SPECIFIC COMMAND TO REMOVE INVALID ENTRIES IN ETC/FSTAB ?

If you know the entries, you could just 'vi' and remove yourself. I doubt if there is any command to 'auto-detect' invalid entries and remove them.

I doubt that ANY OTHER SCRIPT knows what you
mean by INVALID. I sure don't. Do you? If
you do, then you should be able to write a
script to do the work. If you aren't, then
perhaps you shouldn't be playing with
/ete/fstab.

( stop YELLING :)

vi /etc/fstab

save.

No real other way.

To quote the man page:

"DESCRIPTION
fstab is an ASCII file that resides in directory /etc. Programs read it, but do not write to or from it. System administrators are responsible for creating and maintaining this file properly."

I think by INVALID you mean the logical volumes for those entries have been deleted. right? or something like that and ytou do not want the filesystem to be mounted.

JUst go and delete the entries from /etc/fstab.
Its no rocket science.
