Script to add all the partitions to the fstab.

2010-06-24 5 min read Bash Fedora

I wrote a simple script today to get all the partitions on all the disks and then create <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/fstab" title="Fstab" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab">fstab entry with them. The script also gets the <a class="zem_slink freebase/en/universally_unique_identifier" title="Universally Unique Identifier" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_Unique_Identifier">UUID and uses the same to make the entry 🙂

bash completion not working on Fedora

2010-06-06 1 min read Bash Fedora Linux

I had bash completion installed and after that I had made huge changes to my bashrc and also installed bashstyle. After this the bash-completion stopped working.

I had to spend a lot of time to figure out that the easiest solution was to source the bash-completion again in the end. 🙂
