[Centos] How do you modify fstab mount points in Centos 4.0?
Hi, I just installed Centos 4.0 and I need to remove the mount point to a partition... In previous version it was easy: edit the fstab file in /etc and reboot! I am not familiar with fstab-sync. Can explain me what to do without messing with my other partitions? Thanks! ?tienne Savard.

Just to be on the safe side, just comment out the entry you want to remove...that way if something goes haywire, it''s easy to fix. -Ryan
