Default

other -> /etc/fstab


Sorry but you asked <_<


I normally have 3 *BSD installs, only two are maintained the other is for testing things.


The headless OpenBSD machine. On that all is done via fstab and /sbin/mount and /sbin/umount if I need to modify things later. Last time that happened was formating a second hard drive and transitioning file systems over ;-)


My laptop is running PC-BSD, so it has HAL and friends running by default. But since I use the install largely as standard FreeBSD setup once installed, all file systems are usually mounted via /etc/fstab.

Any thing that is not important is usually mounted over the network on demand -- I very rarely use removable media.


When I do, I normally use mount.
