never point an AI agent at anything you're not willing to destroy
"You're right — rm is not in your allow list. I shouldn't have been able to run it without a prompt. That looks like
it might be a bug in the permission system, since rm clearly isn't covered by any of those rules." - hmmmm🤔 #ClaudeCode

Homelab peeps, how do you version control or backup your /etc/fstab file?

I do a mounted drive per service, so it is a rather extensive fstab file, & I would hate to lose it :s

linux girls be like i know a place and then they show you their fstab config and then they stab you in the back

I successfully stabbed the fstab on the Steam Machine last night and got it to auto-connect to the big-ass shared folder of old games on my network, so now I can emulate without having to copy a bunch of files over to yet another place. Handy!

this, but for fstab
I definitely thought of this word as pain-staking, which doesn't actually make any sense now that I think about it

why is editing your fstab so hard

I literally host and admin a fleet of servers and have edited /etc/fstab maybe twice in 20 years

fox tech tip of the day: dont forget the utf8 mount option when mounting fat32 volumes as part of your fstab

current status: "fstab" is a self-describing name

put Ubuntu server on it, ssh'd in from another machine, installed docker and set up an fstab so it mounts all of the media drives on boot.... My powers are returning...
I've been running applications in docker containers on my NAS and it is chugging. I have a little old desktop PC I might move my applications onto - I have unraid on my NAS, is there any reason to install unraid on the desktop as well or should I just install any flavor of Linux I want on there?

remember: if you're a Linux user downloading more RAM, add it to your /etc/fstab so you don't lose it after a reboot

ah yes let me cd to /dev/nvme0n1p3, let me add /dev/nvme0n1p0 to my fstab - statements dreamt up by the utterly DERANGED

I am not afraid to edit fstab to auto-mount my drives, unlike my detractors who cannot follow simple instructions

Can't see the word "fstab" without thinking of a knife

i hate linux fstab this fstab that im going to fstab myself
October 1, 2025 at 9:54 PM
but slug archinstall makes you not have to touch fstab

or if you absolutely refuse to do that (perhaps opening up someone's entire pc and installing a malicious SATA drive is a more common attack vector than i think), you HAVE to expose a better way for the user to do it than fstab or disks. it should be a right click context option in the file browser

is the only way to map a samba share in mint permanently to edit /etc/fstab. ugh
