Excerpt from the man page:
noauto Can only be mounted explicitly (i.e., the -a
option will not cause the file system to be
mounted).
You're telling it not to mount it at startup.

Hi all,
I'm trying to mount a Fat32 partition at startup for my Redhat 8.0 box.
I've edited my /etc/fstab file to add the line:
/dev/hda7 /mnt/windows vfat user,noauto,rw 0 0
and then I type from the command line:
mount /mnt/windows
to mount the volumn.
When I reboot the system the /mnt/windows does not get mounted
automatically. Every time I reboot I need to type the mount command again.
How do I let the OS know to mount the volumn at startup?
I have some more questions about my FAT32 partition, but those will have to
wait for later.
Thanks in advance,
Hamlet D'Arcy
