fstab.user

File Location And Role

The file lives at /data/etc/fstab.user. It's not present by default and should be created by the user if additional filesystems not specific to the OS should be mounted automatically at startup.

Normally, there's no need to add a fstab.user entry for external drives that are connected to the system. The udev daemon will take care to automatically mount common partitions found on these drives.

File Format

The standard fstab file format is expected, e.g.:

# <file system>    <mount point>    <type>    <options>    <dump>    <pass>
  /dev/sdc1        /data/mydisk     ext4      defaults      0         0
