           Summary: enh: pretty-print /etc/fstab when writing it out at
                    installation-time
           Product: Ark Linux
           Version: Dockyard
          Platform: pentium3 (PC, Intel)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Overall Usability
         Component: Installer

Description of Problem: one minor thing Red Hat does that's cool is that they 
format /etc/fstab so most all the columns aligned (unless one field is 
particularly long).  This can be accomplished by piping the 
constructed /etc/fstab through the following awk script:

awk '{
    printf("%-23s %-24s %-7s %-15s %s %s\n", $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6);
}'

.. just a suggestion, but the resulting /etc/fstab looks "cleaner" and is 
easier for the (normal) eye to parse.
