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: Mounting local filesystems: mount: unknown filesystem type '\' mount point defaults does not exist. Is it possible to make multiple line entries like this in fstab, or not?
