I'm trying to understand the fstab man page, but I'm still not getting
something. From man fstab:
"Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or
xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume label (cf.
e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>, e.g.,
‘LABEL=Boot’ or ‘UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6’. This will
make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk
changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label."
>From this, if I'm getting it right, your first line is saying to look for an
ext3 file system area to mount /home on - is that right?
Assuming I'm right, I still don't understand how your second line replaces
hdb1 with sda1 - what am I missing? I don't ever see sda1 mentioned - how is
it found?
If the answers are self-evident, I apologize in advance - sometimes you have
to ask dumb questions to get past one's own mental blocks ;-)
