I have accidently deleted my fstab... how do i recover/
regenerate the file?????? in rescue mode i cannot create a
new file since the filesystem is readonly and could not
mount in readwrite mode ?????????

Answer Posted / nikhil vasishta

it is always suggested to take a regular backup of /etc
directory if u have configured a lot of services in ur
server still, if you see in /etc/mtab file, u'll get all
your currently mounted partitions and using that file u can
recreate fstab. hope this will help.
