Hello all,
Does anyone know of a graphical tool to add entries to fstab? I'm using
redhat 7.3 and I want to add some mounted filesystems. It used to be you could add
these things using linuxconf. I have a feeling that there is still a graphical tool
and that it is the preferred method adding mounts to linux.

Thanks!

Jonathan

use a text editor, it's not hard to DIY.

Why use a graphical tool when you don't need it?

Equinox Desktop Environment has it. search the net for file ede* . Of
course you dont need to install the whole EDE. Just take the tool you
need.

Thanks for the suggestions webmin and Equinox Desk Environment.
Webmin's website was acting up when I checked it... so I will look at
it again tomorrow. But what I saw looks useful.

As for EDE, the utility efstabedit looks like what I want. Many thanks!

The reason I would rather not directly edit my fstab is because frankly I
am afraid of mucking it up, having done it once before. Ideally I would like
a utility that checks the format of my fstab entries before writing it.
This seems a good strategy for me because this is a file that is pretty
crucial for correct functioning of the os.

Thanks again!

Jonathan
