Server: Drive not mounting at startup even though it's in fstab
We have two 1TB USB drives. One is NTFS and is used for backup, the other is FAT32 and is used as a file archive. I've added them both to fstab using their UUIDs because their device name can change depending on what USB port they're plugged into.
The backup (NTFS) one mounts at boot, but the archive (FAT32) one does not. The archive drive is shared via Samba but I don't think that has anything to do with the mounting problem. I suspect it's got something to do with the drive being so big.
I can mount it manually using: mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sdd1 /media/archive

I can't find anything in the logs telling me why it's not mounting.
Any help is appreciated.
