The fstab line generator
Q&A
What is it?
A simple GUI for creating a line to put into /etc/fstab. If that sounds like gibberish to you, you probably don't need this. Go
surf lolcats
instead.
Why did you make it?
Because I'm a lazy bum.
Why did you put it online?
Because you're probably a lazy bum too.
I notice it doesn't have every filesystem and every possible option. Will you add more options?
Sure. I only put in stuff I've found myself needing.

if there's anything specific you'd like me to add.
