FSTAB entry

Hi all,

While mounting filesystem what option would we need to give so that it makes automatically entry of newly mounted file system in fstab .

I think you are wanting the 'auto' option so the partition is automatically mounted whent he system boots.
This page goes over the various options to use in fstab in a easy to understand way: https://linoxide.com/understanding-e...etcfstab-file/

I don't really understand that question. fstab entries are mounted automatically (by default) if you won't specify explicitly noauto.

I believe the OP thinks there is a command you can run to automagically generate and install the FSTAB entry. For all I know, the could be but I have not run into one.

OP, would you please clarify your question?

You might also want to take a look at the Arch Wiki article on fstab. You may find your answer there.
