I accidentally removed all the entries from the fstab files while doing a backup (Yeah, I know ;)).

I would like to know if there is a way to rebuild it with the current mount options, since I did not restart the server since the deletion. If there is no such program, could anybody help me rebuild it.

Using this, I have found the command to show the current setup, but I don't know what to do with it.

$ sudo blkid
