Book Errata
There’s a bit of clarification needed in Volume 1, Chapter 4, Preparation, of my book series, Using and Administering Linux – Zero to SysAdmin: 2nd Edition.
On page 107, Step 13 of preparing a Linux host for creating the VM, the command given is supposed to add a line to the /etc/fstab file that defines the Example mount point and the device that’s supposed to mount there. It’s not clear, but the fields in the fstab file are always required to be separated with tabs instead of spaces. You get errors when attempting to mount the Experiments device if spaces are used.
This is something that I learned a long time ago but had forgotten. Thanks to one of my local students here in Raleigh for informing me of this error.
