Not gonna lie, i've had this exact string as my WhatsApp Status since around 2010 until i recently discovered that it still was there :D

FS TAB - 3 syllables

F STAB - 2 syllables

The choice is clear.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

FSTAB (silent F) - 1 syllable

By this logic we should just fuse the f and s for a monosyllabic word.

Filesystem Table.

It’s a shortening. Not a shortening of File Systemtable though.

Thanks for the information, but I started calling it f stab, an I shall continue to do so.

I literally didn't put it together that it was FS-Tab until a couple years ago when I was setting up an encrypted drive manually in /etc/crypttab, something I had done many times before, when it finally clicked.

I've used Linux heavily for about 15 years.

Huh.... Been using Linux for 20 years, only just learned the origins of fstab.

How embarrassing.

[-] jeremoose@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

wow, it never occured to me that it meant file system table. I feel like fstabl would have made more sense then. although it probable would have just become "fuhstabul"

[-] dack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

fuhstabul

Or is it constanstinobul?

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
