Info. Required

[rajeshbahl]

We need the following information:-

1.The fdisk -l output on red hat linux 7.3 shows one column of blocks.

Why '+'sign appears after certain entries in this column and not after others ?

2. What do the fields 5 and 6 of /etc/fstab represent ?


Thanks In Advance

In the /etc/fstab file, the fifth field is used by the dump utility to determine if that file system should be backed up. If zero then dump will ignore that filesystem.

The sixth field is used by fsck (the filesystem check utility) to determine the order in which filesystems should be checked. If zero then fsck won't check the filesystem.

(The above was found at

I haven't found the documentation concerning the fdisk question, though. Still looking...
