CentOS - Mar 2005 - 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!

You can still manually edit the fstab.  I''ve done it many a time thus
far, with no problems.  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.
