I hate constantly having to wrestle with a command line editor and looking things up when managing my fstab file. Is there a GUI that will let me do it by clicking on things?


Why gnome-disk-utility does not help:

There's a similar question but it's actually very different. The accepted answer suggests using gnome-disk-utility. This allows you to add generated entries for the selected partition. However, I am not asking about just adding entries, but managing all of the existing entries.

Here is an incomplete list of what I want to do, that gnome-disk-utility can't:

  • List all entries in fstab
  • Parse all the options of an arbitrary fstab entry (even if the partition does not currently exist) and explain what they mean
  • Edit an existing fstab entry (even if the partition does not currently exist)
  • Find duplicate/redundant fstab entries
