- Thanks to everyone who responded to my note. I was confused by the statement
- in the file /etc/fstab that said
-
- # NOTE: This file is never consulted if NetInfo is running. It is only
- # used during bootstrap.
-
- I interpreted this to mean that the information in this file was somehow
- completely ineffective if NetInfo was used. So now I have edited this line
- to say
-
- # NOTE: This file is used to initialize disk partition status during bootstrap.
- # It is not consulted while NetInfo is running,
-
- The consensus is that to provide indivdual file ownership and protection the
- fstab file should follow the following format:
-
- /dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
- /dev/sd0b /Clients 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2
- /dev/sd1a /External 4.3 rw,noquota 0 2
-
- where sd0a,b are partitions of the internal drive and sd1a is a partition of
- the external SCSI drive.
