tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb10 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb11 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb9 /usr/src ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb7 /usr/lib ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb8 /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb12 /iso-image ext3 defaults 1 2
