What is "fstabber"?

fstabber is a simple Bash script that facilitates creation of fstab entries.

Entries are not automatically added to /etc/fstab, you will have to do that yourself.

Usage

One-liner

If you just want to run it quickly, you can use the following:

bash <(wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krista-koivisto/fstabber/master/fstabber)

The code above will run the latest version of the script without saving it on your system.

Cloned from Git

Clone the repository, run chmod +x fstabber in the fstabber directoy and run ./fstabber.

File System Support

Currently supported file system types are:

• ext2
• ext3
• ext4
• NTFS (using ntfs-3g driver)
• FAT32 (using vfat)
• FAT16 (using vfat)
• FAT12 (using vfat)

Explicitly Using ntfs-3g

Since most Linux distributions symlink ntfs to ntfs-3g, I opted to simply use ntfs as it's cleaner. However, you can launch fstabber with the explicit parameter to enforce explicit driver names. Simply launch it using ./fstabber explicit instead.

Requirements

Most Linux distributions come with everything here pre-installed:

• Bash 4.4 or later
• ntfs-3g for NTFS support
• vfat for FAT support
• blkid and lsblk
