How can I mount a partition on every reboot?

Question

I have a partition mounted with mount -t ext3 /dev/sda3 /foo.

Each time I reboot, I need to remount. How can I keep this mounted after every reboot?

Answer 1

You need to make an entry in /etc/fstab for the mount, something like:

/dev/sda3 /foo                       ext3    defaults        1 1
