[FIX] crontabs deleted on reboot

Hi guys!
Following the fix from the previous post, I noticed that I had to redo the fix every time I restarted my computer.

At a closer inspection of my boot output, I noticed that the crontabs folder is always created anew.

After some search, I noticed that it was set up to be in the temporary file system and was thus deleted every time the computer was restarted.

To fix this problem, do the following:

In terminal, cd to /etc and edit the file fstab using leafpad, or vi, or whichever editing tool you like.

In the file, look and check if you have a line that looks similar to this:
tmpfs /var/spool tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=512M,mode=1777 0 0

If you do, comment it by adding a # at the beginning or deleting the line entirely.
Save and restart.
