I guess that when I used the USB-installer to boot my machine into Rescue Mode, the USB stick is mounted, yes?

Output of mount is

root@perfect:/# mount
/dev/mapper/perfect--vg-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=8137669k,nr_inodes=2034417,mode=755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=1629756k,mode=755)
root@perfect:/#

Output of dh -Th is

root@perfect:/# df -Th
Filesystem                Type        Size    Used    Avail    Use%   Mounted on
/dev/perfect-vg/root      ext4        36G     773M    33G      3%     /
devtmpfs                  devtmpfs   7.8G        0   7.8G      0%     /dev
tmpfs                     tmpfs      1.6G      96K   1.6G      1%     /run

Thanks for the mini instruction. I really appreciate it.

I read fstab(5). Unfortunately such man pages don't contain examples to illustrate the arguments and options.
