Mounting using alternate fstab file
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I need to use an alternative fstab file for mounting a folder in another folder, like the command
mount --bind /folder1 /folder2
I tried the command
mount --fstab /pathToFile.fstab
as stated in the man:
-T,--fstab path
Specifies an alternative fstab file. If path is a directory then the files in the directory are sorted by
strverscmp(3); files that start with.or without an.fstabextension are ignored. The option can be specified more than once. This option is mostly designed forinitramfsorchrootscripts where additional configuration is specified beyond standard system configuration.
I create the file this way:
/folder1 /folder2 auto bind 0 0
but the command
mount --fstab /path
does nothing.
I added the line from the alternative file in /etc/fstab and with the
mount -a
the folder is mounted correctly.
Does anybody have experience with the --fstab option?

I guess you should trymount --fstab /path -aormount --fstab /path /folder1.

Is your alternatefstabfile calledpathand is it located in the root directory? This is what yourmount --fstab /pathcommand implies.

@Kusalananda /path was an example, my fstab file is in /ftp/mountFile.fstab, the file exist, but I didn't use the -a option, that solve my problem

The command
mount --fstab /pathToFile.fstab
is the same as mount with no options when using the standard fstab file, i.e. "list mounted filesystems".
To actually mount all automountable filesystems specified in a custom fstab file similar to using mount -a with the standard fstab files, you'll need to use the --fstab option together with the -a option:
mount --fstab /pathToFile.fstab -a
