15 This one (and the other 4 LVM entries) should follow this format:
16
17 /dev/vg/usr /usr ext3 noatime 0 2
18
19 If you mount them at /mnt/gentoo then they are not in the right place to
20 do their correct function. Just remove the /mnt/gentoo part from each
21 (you do mount them there during the install process, but it's not their
22 final location).
23
24 The two numbers at the end should be '0 1' for the partition mounted
25 at /, all other disk partitions get '0 2'. Mounts that are not real disk
26 partitions (/proc, tmpfs, swap, etc) are 0. See 'man 5 fstab' for
27 deatils. The first digit relates to a very old piece of software
28 (dump/restore) that is effectively obsolete.
