Summary: Conflict between Advice in LFS book and BLFS book
Product: Linux From Scratch
Version: TESTING
Platform: All
URL: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.1.1-
pre2/chapter08/fstab.html
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Book
AssignedTo: [email protected]

In lfs book (all recent versions including the latest test version), it states
the following when discussing using the ext3 file system:
"When using a journalling file system, the 1 1 at the end of the line should
be replaced with 0 0 because such a partition does not need to be dumped or
checked"
(See http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.1.1-pre2/chapter08/fstab.html).
However, in the latest stable version of the BLFS book (v 6.1), it states:
"Edit your /etc/fstab. For each partition that you want to convert into ext3,
edit the entry so that it looks similar to the following line.
/dev/hd[XX] /mnt_point ext3 defaults 1 1
In the above line, replace /dev/hd[XX] by the partition
(e.g., /dev/hda2), /mnt_point by the mount point (e.g., /home). The 1 in the
last field ensures that the partition will be checked for consistency during
the boot process by the checkfs script as recommended by the maintainer."
(See
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/postlfs/filesystems.html )
What should it be? For ext3, should the last two digits be 1 1 in the fstab
file or should it be 0 0?
In my view, we should be saying the same thing in LFS and BLFS.
