X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: "Marcel.lautenbach" List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2004 19:29:26 -0000 hi folks, well, i new to freebsd but i didn't find help in the newbelist. and since i got this daily message from the list i think this is the right place to go. i am at the point to change my /etc/fstab file. well, there i can set two numbers 1 for root file system; 2 for another ufs file system and 0 for everythin else. so, in my example here: why ist a ms-dos file system set to 2 and not to 0? it isn't a ufs file system...*wondering* also, why to distinguish between 1,2 and 0. there is a file system declaration in the third column. so, i don't get it with the differences and reasons for these three numbers. but i would like to understand :-) so, can someone help? and, what does the term "userland" mean for freebsd? o.k., i am kind of dump but i hope you can clear the fog in my brain :-) thanky -- mailto:freebsd@xtsy.de
