cryption of le systems is provided in Chapter 11, Encrypting Partitions and

Files (↑Security Guide).

Fstab Options

Specify various parameters contained in the global le system administration

le (/etc/fstab). The default settings should sufce for most setups. You

can, for example, change the le system identication from the device name to

a volume label. In the volume label, use all characters except / and space.

To get persistent devices names, use the mount option Device ID, UUID or

LABEL. In openSUSE, persistent device names are enabled by default.

When using the mount option LABEL to mount a partition, dene an appropriate

label for the selected partition. For example, you could use the partition label

HOME for a partition intended to mount to /home.

If you intend to use quotas on the le system, use the mount option Enable

Quota Support. This must be done before you can dene quotas for users in the

YaST User Management module. For further information on how to congure

user quota, refer to Section 9.3.5, “Managing Quotas” (page 163).

Mount Point

Specify the directory where the partition should be mounted in the le system

tree. Select from YaST suggestions or enter any other name.

Select Finish to save the changes.

NOTE: Resize Filesystems

To resize an existing le system, select the partition and use Resize. Note, that

it is not possible to resize partitions while mounted. To resize partitions, un-

mount the relevant partition before running the partitioner.
