Re: [RndTbl] Thanks! and kudzu?
According to millward:
What's kudzu ? I've read the man mount but there's no kudzu there. What does it do?
It's a utility that runs at system startup to check your hardware configuration, and allow you to setup/configure any new or changed hardware. If your system will be stable after you've set it up, you can always disable it as a startup service to speed things up a bit... chkconfig kudzu off However, I like to leave it on, so it catches any hardware changes I made, or anything that may "mysteriously" have changed. -- Gilbert E.

This still doesn't explain what "kudzu" means as an option in /etc/fstab. It's not documented in fstab(5) or kudzu(8) either. A quick Google search for "etc fstab kudzu" did turn up this page, though: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.1-Manual/release-notes/s1-sys... It seems it's for the automatic management of removable media. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <grdetil@scrc.umanitoba.ca> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
