LVM volume not mounting after reboot

Asked by Peter Johnson

I´ve got a logical volume that I created using the graphical version of LVM. I can mount the volume fine but it doesn´t remount after a reboot even though I´ve selected ¨mount when rebooted¨. The contents of fstab and lvdisplay are below. Any advice appreciated.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

Are you sure you want to mount it to /dev/Backups and not to for instance /media/Backups ?
Then it would be more like

/dev/Backup/Backups /media/Backups ext3 defaults 1 2 ?

Or you can try
UUID=17jeOG-dR2W-cb1b-bqdK-1zXT-V1Pn-PUPKa2 /media/Backups ext3 defaults 1 2

Cheers Isak, that has fixed it. While working out how to use LVM I thought /dev was one of the defaults or examples I´d seen which was the only reason I used that. Must do a bit more reading on the structure of the Linux file system, I guess /dev is created dynamically by the kernel so it would have thrown away my mount point.

Perhaps I need to do some more reading on how Yelp works at the same time LOL. I assume I should have pressed problem solved without a message and then added the thankyou just as a comment? Here you go I´ll press the I still need an answer button so you can get your brownie point ;-)
