mount permanently USB Hard Disk

[Angelo Moreschini]

Hi,

I have problem to permantly install a USB memory on my computer.

1. ==============
the result of the command ls /dev/sdd* releve the USB Hard Disk in this way:

brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 48 Aug  1 14:44 /dev/sdd
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 49 Aug  1 14:44 /dev/sdd1
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 50 Aug  1 14:44 /dev/sdd2
brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 53 Aug  1 14:44 /dev/sdd5

2. ==============
the result of the command blkid is this:
.........
/dev/mapper/fedora_zorro-home: UUID="fbff88ad-4e0e-4de4-b370-df5992a8ecbe"
TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdd1: LABEL="FEDORA" UUID="4458827258826312" TYPE="ntfs"
PARTUUID="39886053-01"
/dev/sdd5: LABEL="REPOSITORIES_subversion" UUID="F6808D39808D00FB"
TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="39886053-05"
/dev/sde1: UUID="6CF4-C3AA" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="da752cd9-01"

3. ==============
in this way I modified the file /ectc/fstab of my computerin this way :

#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Thu Jun 19 17:41:33 2014
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info
#
/dev/fedora_zorro/root / ext4 defaults 1 1
UUID=c3a4694f-d933-4079-a0e8-863320229f64 /boot       ext4    defaults
   1 2
/dev/mapper/fedora_zorro-home /home                   ext4    defaults
   1 2
/dev/mapper/fedora_zorro-swap swap                    swap    defaults
   0 0
#UUID=4458827258826312        /mnt/fedora              ntfs    default
    0 2
#UUID=F68D8D39808D00FB        /mnt/svn-repo            ntfs    default
    0 2

==================
but ......
==================
but when I remove the comment from the last two lines of the content of the
file /etc/fstab then the computer start only in EMERGENCY MODE..

I should like appreciate to know what is wrong in the last two line that I
added to the file /ect/fstab..
and also to know I have to change them to have a correct working of the
computer

thank you

regards

Angelo

You have written "default" where you should have written "defaults".

You don't have to reboot to check the fstab file entries work, you can
manually mount and unmount drives that are listed in it.

mount /mnt/fedora
umount /mnt/fedora

Should be enough to test one of the drives.  The umount/mount commands
should be able to find the rest of the data in the fstab file, using
what you have provided on the command line.
