I'm not a total newbie, but there are still some things that I'm not familiar with. One of them is fstab. For the past months, I've accumulated some modifications to fstab that I have forgotten why I added or what they do. So my fstab looks like a mess. I'm not even sure if they're the correct or default values. They just worked, and didn't bother trying to find out how/why. I'm wondering if some more experienced users could help me clean it up a bit, and probably understand it.
Here's my fstab. I've added some comments to indicated what filesystem the partitions use and which ones I want to mount at startup.
Thanks for anyone who would have the patience and time for this.
