    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)
