Explanation:
The file fstab contains descriptive information about the various file systems, fstabisonly read by
programs, and not written; it is the duty of the system administrator to properly create and maintain
this file. Each filesystem is described on a separate line; fields on each line are separated by tabs
or spaces. Lines starting with #are comments.The order of records in fstab is important because sequentially iterate through fstab doing their
thing. Pattern of /etc/fstab is:
device mount point filesystem mountoption dump fsck order
