Seconded. That's a very good start for beginners. 

fstab and mount work very much hand in hand (fstab is just a static file
which mount uses at boot). You can also have a look at the man page of
both, fstab and mount, by entering the command 'man fstab' or 'man
mount' in a terminal (without the quotes). fstab's man page is very
simple to read, but mount's is too comprehensive for most users to have
a go at. Nevertheless, I think it is invaluable, as nearly every flag
and option is described there, and sometimes when you just need the
meaning of a particular option, nothing comes close to good ol' man
pages.
