fstab and related information

I'm wondering if I could get some reference sites on how /etc/fstab is 
configured and what options are available for differently formatted 
partitions. As it is I have some information on the structure of 
/etc/fstab as well as a little experience working with it; however, I 
have come up short searching the internet for information on what 
options are available for common partition types such as the ext family, 
reiserfs, the fat family, and ntfs.

Any links or reference information would be nice, I would also like to 
know what kinds of partition types Ark would most likely have to work with.

I would like to say more, but I don't want to make any commitments until 
I've finished final exams, the last one is on the 22nd.

Thanks.
