please a tip from one of the gurus
how to add line in fstab

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1 · Accepted solution]

# vi /etc/fstab

192.168.249.213:10.249.10.89:/opt/backup/wireline_networks/alcatel/regional_manager /alu/backup_lan_safe nfs defaults 0 0
:wq

>external network drive

These are called NFS mounts, not external network drives.
It appears the sysadmin has issued a mount command for the filesystem or the automounter has done that. If you want that permanent, you can just add an entry to /etc/fstab or let SAM do it for you.
You can get a good idea of the format by finding the entry in /etc/mnttab.
