FS TAB - 3 syllables
F STAB - 2 syllables
The choice is clear.
FSTAB (silent F) - 1 syllable
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?
We geeks do not care about syllables! We are the ones who "shortened" the 3 syllable "World Wide Web" to the 9 syllable "www"!
Still only 3 syllables in German 🤷
"Dub dub dub" is 3 syllables
By this logic we should just fuse the f and s for a monosyllabic word.
I just call it the filesystem table?
