Thank you @anti-apXos . I checked the old file, it was not created by “make-fstab” because comments do not say that. Comments look like this, so I’m sure it was generated by a program, I manually never write comment like this.
#-> /dev/sdb1 label=Mageia
UUID=xx /media/Mageia ext4 noauto,exec,users 0 0
#-> /dev/sdc4 label=photos
UUID=xx /media/photos ext4 noauto,exec,users 0 0
(Disk setup at this time was different from my above lsblk output, sorry.)
While first line before “/” disk says (just like in antiX 26)
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
This was not only a question, but also a feedback, because not all users will be able to make fstab. And I think something that added these previously, also added “,users” options, that made it possible to click the devices in zzzFM and they got mounted. In my new antiX 26 I simply get the error message saying I’m not root.
(ps: I kept “/home” from older system, that may also have effect on how zzzFM works. I’m in process of comparing everything to /etc/skels soon and updating my files with “Meld”.)
I have now ran “Disk Manager” (this one I recall using, but this does not add useless partitions automatically, like 480MB Windows ntfs partitions, like I had in the old fstab). I added my “photos” disk with it, and it did add comments, yet another type! So the original was not this program either. And in this I manually needed to write in “,users”, which I don’t recall ever doing.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
#Entry for /dev/sdb1 :
UUID=xx / ext4 noatime 1 1
#Entry for /dev/sdc4 :
UUID=xx /media/photos ext4 defaults,noatime,x-gvfs-show,users 0 2
#Entry for /dev/sdc3 :
UUID=xx /home2 ext4 defaults 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sdb2 :
UUID=xx /home3 ext4 defaults 0 0
/home3/antix_home /home none bind 0 0
Now the original antiX first line referring to uDev is also gone, this is the complete file currently.
(ps: I deleted uuid values for clarity)
