How does Linux perform automatic mounting and unmounting?

What will be an ideal response?


The /etc/fstab configuration file contains options and preset mount points so that file systems can be mounted or unmounted automatically. The fdisk, mount, and umount commands refer to this file while operating. The /etc/fstab file maintains a table of all file systems with preferences users set during installation. Only the root user can configure this file.
