state |
yes |
|
- present
- absent
- mounted
- unmounted
|
If mounted or unmounted , the device will be actively mounted or unmounted as needed and appropriately configured in fstab. absent and present only deal with fstab but will not affect current mounting. If specifying mounted and the mount point is not present, the mount point will be created. Similarly, specifying absent will remove the mount point directory. |
