Considering the following instructions I found online for how to auto-mount a directory at startup:Make the symlink:sudo ln -s `which gdfs` /sbin/mount.gdfsAdd the entry to /etc/fstab:/var/cache/gdfs.creds /mnt/gdrivefs gdfs allow_other 0 0Optional: Manually mount mount /mnt/gdrivefsWhat is the point of creating the symlink? Is that supposed to be necesary for adding something to fstab?Why is the symlink called mount.gdfs? Why not just gdfs?Is the mount. prefix a thing? Does the kernel know when it comes across the gdfs in that line in fstab to go looking for something with a mount. prefix in sbin?Thanks in advance!
purpose of symbolic links when mounting via fstab
mount;symlink;fstab
