Configuration file for the file system.
During the boot process, this file is accessed to see which partitions should be automatically mounted.
See commands:
df
mount
umount
/proc
It is no longer necessary to list /proc in /etc/fstab. The boot system will always mount them.
If /proc is listed in your fstab, it is probably a remnant of an older installation and it can be removed.
