The closest thing bash has to REXX stems is the array; but be forewarned: bash arrays are a PITA to work with. REXX stems are much easier.

The only thing it doesn't show is swap and the values of fs_freq and fs_passno (those last two numbers in the fstab) and that can be figured out by rule vs actual. root getting 1 1 the rest getting 1 2 and the thigns like sysfs and proc by rule are 0 0. Are there things like compound variables in the bash shell? Kinda like stem variables in rexx ? Something that can be declared and indexed through so that var.1 = /dev/dasda var.2 = {mountpoint} var.3 = fs type and so on? If that's possible in the bash shell then the administrivia of creating the script is pretty simple. I just have never seen compound variables in a bash shell script, so I'm not sure and someone walked off with my book. -J Rick Troth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on To 390 Port [email protected] <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc IST.EDU> Subject Re: Generating and fstab from list 10/21/2005 11:55 of mounted file systems AM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> There are two files which may be of help, and have similar syntax to /etc/fstab. The two files are /etc/mtab (maintained by the 'mount' command program) and /proc/mounts (kernel space). Look at them, then decide if you want to do it manually once or automate for repeat performance. -- R; On Fri, 21 Oct 2005, James Melin wrote: > Is thre a utility that can examine file systems that are mounted and > generate a new fstab? > > Obviously after I do that single disk copy to the multiple HFS struture I > need to create a new fstab > -------- snip ------------ for brevity > > Specifically I'm interested in figuring out how to examine a file system, > determine if it's ext3, ext2, reiser, etc,and what the attributes should be > (like acl,usr_xattr and the 1 1 or 1 2 stuff) The fstab example was > generated by a manual install of the sles 9 system I am now trying to > re-create via the single disk clone and copy to final destination method. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
