Fstab notes

Coupla handy fstab commands for the next time a hard drive blows up.


To list UUIDs of attached drives:

sudo blkid

To list all drives attached to the system:

sudo fdisk -l

(that's a lowercase L, not a one)

To edit fstab:

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

To enact changes you've just made to fstab:

sudo mount -a

To see what devices are currently mounted (will include stuff other than drives)

mount
