mount them. 

Field definitions 

/etc/fstab contains the following fields separated by a space or tab: 

<file system>   <dir>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>


   - 
   
   *<file systems>* - defines the storage device (i.e. /dev/sda1). 
   - 
   
   *<dir>* - tells the mount command where it should mount the <file 
   system> to. 
   - 
   
   *<type>* - defines the file system type of the device or partition to be 
   mounted. Many different file systems are supported. Some examples are: 
   ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, smbfs, iso9660, vfat, ntfs, swap, and auto. 
   The 'auto' type lets the mount command to attempt to guess what type of 
   file system is used, this is useful for removable devices such as CDs and 
   DVDs. 
   - 
   
   *<options>* - define particular options for filesystems. Some options 
   relate only to the filesystem itself. Some of the more common options are: 
   - 
      
      *auto* - file system will mount automatically at boot, or when the 
      command 'mount -a' is issued. 
      - 
      
      *noauto* - the filesystem is mounted only when you tell it to. 
      - 
      
      *exec* - allow the execution binaries that are on that partition 
      (default). 
      - 
      
      *noexec* - do not allow binaries to be executed on the filesystem. 
      - 
      
      *ro* - mount the filesystem read only. 
      - 
      
      *rw* - mount the filesystem read-write. 
      - 
      
      *sync* - I/O should be done synchronously. 
      - 
      
      *async* - I/O should be done asynchronously. 
      - 
      
      *flush* - specific option for FAT to flush data more often, thus 
      making copy dialogs or progress bars to stays up until things are on the 
      disk. 
      - 
      
      *user* - permit any user to mount the filesystem (implies 
      noexec,nosuid,
