Multiple fstab files in /etc/fstab.d

[benibilme]

Hello,

I am running an nfs server at home. There are many shares. There are client labtops and pcs. All are running manjaro. I would like drop in a file in the client machines which will help them mount automatically. Now I manually edit, copy paste every fstab file in client machines when there is a change in the shares.

I read about putting different files under /etc/fstab.d directory in different distros but I wonder if it is possible in manjaro/arch. I have not been able to find information on arch/manjaro wiki.

I appreciate any insight, directions.

The loading of devices is arbitrary and therefore you cannot predict which device will be available at a given path. But static device names do exist and you can assign specific locations to your device and thus ensure e.g. scripts will work as expected.

I used it also for nfs and it works perfectly good.
