I wanted to mount a partition automatically on boot, so I used storage device manager, as recommended on ubuntu help. The problem is I named it with my name instead of leaving it default. So, instead of monuting it to media/sda3, it tries to mount to media/Fabio (which is my name). The problem is it can't mount and always says "error mounting media/Fabio. Press S to skip or M to manually mount it"

here is an image of my fstab file on /lib/init/fstab

enter image description here

I searched for similar topics but none of them worked or were exactly what I wanted.

  • This fstab doesn't even have the device you're talking about in it. Can you copy /etc/fstab into your question? That should have the device listed.

    Generally, I think it is better not to touch /lib/init/fstab unless you know what you're doing and only ever modify /etc/fstab. The former is used in the early boot process so many things are not yet available/mounted/loaded.

  • this is what etc/fstab looks like img507.imageshack.us/img507/9065/screenshot2jz.png I had posted lib/init/fstab. Sorry. If I delete the line /dev/sda3 /media/Fabio Esteves ntfs nls=iso8859-1,users,umask=000,user 0 0 which contains the partition I do not want to try to mount, will it mount only the other one? thank you

Reset to default

This was fixed by the user by removing the bad partition line in /etc/fstab.
