    Reading this meme (a while ago) is how I found out it’s not pronounced f stab

    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”

      fuhstabul

      Or is it constanstinobul?

      This was decided at a time when single bytes for a file name was still valuable space. This is why vi is vi and not visual. UNIX is more than 50 years old :)

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

      We geeks do not care about syllables! We are the ones who “shortened” the 3 syllable “World Wide Web” to the 9 syllable “www”!

      Yes FS TAB.

      Since when has Linux been about taking the easy way out?

        I mean, it’s literally shorthand already for filesystem table innit?

    Filesystem Table.

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

    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.

      Same, mentally I called it f stab for years and it dawned on me after using Linux for well over ten years.
