Does the Modifications Made In GNU Parted Affect the File System Table File?












0















I'm still quite new to Linux but I've picked up a fair amount of knowledge from rooting Android devices and working with OpenWRT, so I'm not a complete newbie, therefore I am quite happy working with a CLI.



To cut a long story short, my Nexus 7 (2013 WiFi) tablet PC has a corrupted partition table, and even though I have posted a thread under the Android Stack Exchange I am still unable to fix the problem. I would now like to troubleshoot further into Linux/Unix should work as I have possible theory but without actual knowledge I could be completely wrong.



After loading GNU Parted on the tablet and making a new GPT table with 30 partitions byte by byte, I print out the table to make a final check I'm happy and then quit. I then get a message saying the fstab needs to be reloading. The guide I have been following suggests reboot into the recovery. However, this is where my tablet shuts off and is bricked again. It is though the work done in GNU Parted isn't saving. Going with the question of the title, is the /etc/fstab supposed to update? Does GNU Parted have any relation to fstab? I did try the 'cat /proc/mounts' command but it looked pretty empty. I also tried 'mount -a' but it just said the 'system', 'data' and two other partitions "no such file or directory".
