    I have no idea how widespread it is among other distros, but ArchLinux’s bootable install disk/iso comes with a genfstab command that snapshots your current mount points and outputs it as a fstab.

    You still need to figure out where and how to mount everything yourself, but at least it saves you from most typos that could otherwise end up in the fstab file.

      That’s nice.

      I know that the disk utilty in Ubuntu gives you the option to automatically mount a (secondary) disk at boot. It adds it to fstab for you.
