[Resolved] Debian 12: trying to auto-mount a NTFS-formatted hard drive by making an entry in fstab. Getting the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 18 -- ignored"
[Resolved] Debian 12: trying to auto-mount a NTFS-formatted hard drive by making an entry in fstab. Getting the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 18 -- ignored"
Here's the entry in the fstab file for mounting my hard drive. I have bolded the name of the hard drive (that's what it shows up as on the dock when it isn't mounted):
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0
After making that entry in fstab, I execute the, systemctl daemon-reload, command, and then mount -a, afterwards which gives me this error.

Does this help? https://superuser.com/questions/527495/how-to-mount-partition-with-spaces-in-path
Looks like you need
\040in place of the space.Honestly, I would just change the name of the mount directory so there's no space.
This worked.
I edited the fstab file:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0My hdd is now automatically mounted by Debian.
Thank you!
