From e3fbf603a0d88149ee25b733b376d57509bb7b83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Warner Losh Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2009 07:45:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] I don't know why fstab doesn't document that the fifth field specifies the number of days between backups. All it says is frequency, with no units given. It likely should say "the interval in days between backups" instead, but not today. --- share/man/man5/fstab.5 | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/share/man/man5/fstab.5 b/share/man/man5/fstab.5 index df19b9be8af..1c6f17e40c5 100644 --- a/share/man/man5/fstab.5 +++ b/share/man/man5/fstab.5 @@ -198,6 +198,8 @@ command to determine which file systems need to be dumped.
