%general-entities; ]> /etc/fstab The /etc/fstab file is used by some programs to determine where file systems are to be mounted by default, in which order, and which must be checked (for integrity errors) prior to mounting. Create a new file systems table like this: cat > ${CLFS}/targetfs/etc/fstab << "EOF" # file-system mount-point type options dump fsck /dev/[xxx] / [fff] defaults 1 1 EOF Replace [xxx] and [fff] with the values appropriate for the system, for example, mmcblk0p2 and ext4. For details on the fields in this file, see man 5 fstab. You may also add any other file systems, such as swap or other partitions or network file systems, to this fstab as well.
