The /etc/fstab file is used by some
programs to determine where file systems are to be mounted by
default, in which order, and which must be checked (for integrity
errors) prior to mounting. For our embedded system, the bootloader
will tell Linux where to find the root file system and we will not
mount any additional file systems, so we can create an empty file
system table like this:
cat > ${CLFS}/targetfs/etc/fstab << "EOF"
# file-system mount-point type options dump fsck
EOF
You may add any other file systems, such as swap or other partitions or network file systems, to this fstab if you wish.
