I read this and found some errors:

The file should be /etc/fstab

You can wait on this. You can mount the file systems on the mount points
without deleting the files. That way you can get them back if something
goes wrong, but you won't get to use the space those files take up until
you delete those files.

At least I think they are errors. But I like these instruction list
things (because I forget a lot of things). Thank you very much, chewie!!
