Explanation

The file that must be updated to ensure the filesystem mounts at boot time is /etc/fstab. This file contains information about the filesystems that are mounted automatically by the mount -a command, which is usually invoked during the system startup. The /etc/fstab file has six fields for each filesystem: device name, mount point, filesystem type, mount options, dump frequency, and pass number. To add a new filesystem to the /etc/fstab file, you need to specify these fields correctly and make sure the mount point directory exists.
