NAME

6       genfstab - generate output suitable for addition to an fstab file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       genfstab [options] root
10

DESCRIPTION

12       genfstab helps fill in an fstab file by autodetecting all the current
13       mounts below a given mountpoint and printing them in fstab-compatible
14       format to standard output. It can be used to persist a manually mounted
15       filesystem hierarchy and is often used during the initial install and
16       configuration of an OS.
