Fixing fstab

English Hardware

Hello

I tried editing my fstab to mount an internal hard drive. When I restarted it did not mount in the location, however it took space up on my main hard drive. Here is my fstab:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD6400AAKS-_WD-WMASY2347899-part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD6400AAKS-_WD-WMASY2347899-part6 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD6400AAKS-_WD-WMASY2347899-part7 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD6400AAKS-_WD-WMASY2347899-part1 /windows/C ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/media ntfs-3g user,users,gid=users,umask=0002 0 0

Any help?

we can assume it is

/dev/sdb1 /mnt/media ntfs-3g user,users,gid=users,umask=0002 0 0

that you have added.

You might be better adding the device using Yast partitioner

The thing to remember is: The folder you want to mount to must exist in your tree.

For example I have created a folder /STORE to mount a storage volume

your line need only have /media
which is a valid and existing folder
if you want more devices in the same /media folder then you need to created a folder in there, so it will look like this eg: /media/myntfsdrive

THANK YOU!

Turns out that I was trying to mount it in a file that did not exist. A simple stupid mistake.

Thanks Again!
