"fstab table" is redundant.
Yes, I'm that guy.

Nerdy hornyposting about steam is? I'm so in.
File system table table
fstab table = filesystem table table
Unmounting drives on sleep sounds disastrous, what ridiculous distro is this
the transition between sleep and shutdown is a fluent one. a shutdown is just a sleep that is deep enough. when the sleep is deep enough, it might be worth decoupling from energy-hungry consumers such as spinning disks in a laptop.
Yeah, but fstab entries are mounted at boot, not wake.
Maybe you meant an auto mount entry, "I mount you as soon as I detect you"
Fucking with fstab without fully knowing what I was doing was a powerful early Linux lesson for me lol. Luckily I was using Time Shift so it was very easy to rollback.
Eventually got it working though, and now I understand how it works (though I haven't needed to edit it since switching to bazzite)
My fstab doesn't actually get read on startup. Simply because mount -a is never called.
Just to demystify this magic file.
