Mount USB drive at boot?
How can I boot my NTFS USB drive at boot?
I have this in fstab:
UUID=55D123D9E7
I've also tried:
/dev/sdb1 /media/USB\040Drive ntfs-3g defaults,
Which does NOT work, however if I mount manually:
mount /dev/sdb1
or
mount -a
It works.
What's wrong? Can you help me?

I've also tried with auto, without force, without users.........
I've tried with UUID.
I've tried putting it on cron tab.
What am I doing wrong?

Ah yeah forgot to mention, for the people who don't realize \040 is not a bad thing -_-;
YES I have tried without spaces. I'm not dumb :P
Hello,
I think you forgot option 'auto' , for auto-mount at startup:
auto and noauto With the auto option, the device will be mounted automatically (at bootup, just like I told you a bit earlier, or when you issue the mount -a command). auto is the default option. If you don't want the device to be mounted automatically, use the noauto option in /etc/fstab. With noauto, the device can be mounted only explicitly.
so ... the result would be:
UUID=55D123D9E7
I noticed that sometimes if auto is not specified, it wont mount at boot even if its the default ...

That didn't work either. I ended up just backing up the drive and formatting it to ext3. It mounts fine at boot now.
Thanks.
