Re: [CentOS] fstab multiple line entries?

I'm trying to add a long list of mount options in my fstab, and break the entry over 2 lines, as it goes off screen.

Taking this as an example:

# This works # #/dev/hda9 # original settings # LABEL=downloads /downloads ext3 defaults 1 2

# This doesn't work # #/dev/hda9 # new options LABEL=downloads /downloads \ ext3 defaults 1 2

Using the '' character at the end of the line in the above example gives the following error message at boot time:

<snip> Just a thought: go into vi, cursor down to the line, and hit $, and see where the actual end of the line is. If there's whitespace *after* the , it won't work.
