Hi folks,

About creating /etc/fstab

HD partitions:-
/dev/hda1 	ext2 	/boot
/dev/hda2 	(swap)  swap (ext)
/dev/hda3 	ext3 	/root
/dev/hda4	LVM

under Volume Group (vg)
/home 
/usr 
/opt
/var
/tmp

floppy
cdrom
cdwriter


Whether following entries are correct ?

/etc/fstab
none   /proc  proc  defaults     0 0
none   /dev/shm  tmpfs  nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 0

/dev/hda1   /boot  ext2    defaults,noatime  1 2
/dev/hda2   none   swap    sw                0 0
/dev/hda3   /      ext3    noatime           0 1

/dev/vg/usr  /mnt/gentoo/usr  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/home /mnt/gentoo/home ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/opt  /mnt/gentoo/opt  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/var  /mnt/gentoo/var  ext3  noatime  0 1
/dev/vg/tmp  /mnt/gentoo/tmp  ext3  noatime  0 1

/dev/fd   /mnt/floppy  auto  noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdc  /mnt/cdrom0  auto  noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdd  /mnt/cdrom1  auto  noauto,user 0 0
* end *

TIA

Why are you mounting these under /mnt/gentoo?  Shouldn't these be
mounted on /usr, /home, /opt, /var, and /tmp instead?

This one (and the other 4 LVM entries) should follow this format:

/dev/vg/usr   /usr   ext3   noatime  0 2

If you mount them at /mnt/gentoo then they are not in the right place to
do their correct function. Just remove the /mnt/gentoo part from each
(you do mount them there during the install process, but it's not their
final location). 

The two numbers at the end should be '0 1' for the partition mounted
at /, all other disk partitions get '0 2'. Mounts that are not real disk
partitions (/proc, tmpfs, swap, etc) are 0. See 'man 5 fstab' for
deatils. The first digit relates to a very old piece of software
(dump/restore) that is effectively obsolete.
