can't find /home/username/Box in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Question

I'm following the tutorial here to mount Box.com on my Ubuntu machine. It works great up until the last step:

mount ~/Box

Which spits out there error:

can't find /home/username/Box in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

This directory does exist, though. I can navigate to it with ~/Box. Any idea what's wrong?

Please edit your question to include the contents of your /etc/fstab file — steeldriver, Mar 30, 2015 at 23:51
Thank you, that resolved the problem. I'd misread the instructions and put the a line that should have been in fstab in secrets. Thanks again for the prompt response! — nullnullnull, Mar 30, 2015 at 23:59

Looks like I misread the tutorial. To get this working, open /etc/fstab and add:

https://dav.box.com/dav /home/<username>/Box  davfs  _netdev,rw,user 0 0
