# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a 
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices 
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). 
# 
#                 
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0 
# / was on /dev/sda7 during installation 
UUID=0b610bc2-f07f-43b4-b5b3-61e3efcfb453 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1 
# /boot was on /dev/sda8 during installation 
UUID=fd15c0f5-df12-47eb-a620-7e160abd6071 /boot           ext4    defaults        0       2 

/dev/sda4 /media/WinBackUp ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=1000,gid=46
