# User created DATA partition, mounted at /mnt/DATA
UUID=585c3e2f-c6be-4802-885d-eead48242766 /mnt/DATA ext4 defaults,noatime,noauto 0 2
This worked fine and again in Mint 18. But now I'm trying to use the same scheme in Mint 19 and I keep getting kicked into emergency mode, just as I had at the beginning. The journal shows that it is the mounting of the DATA partition that is failing due to dependencies. What gives, what is wrong with this fstab entry?
What happens if you just comment out that line? When I've had errors like that it (booting) just wastes 1.5 minutes until it gives up...unless the problem is with the OS partition. Are you sure the OS ("/") line is OK in fstab?
That line is almost exactly like the one I have for a non-auto-mounting Ubuntu OS partition:
Code: Select all
# Don't mount at boot:
#
LABEL=UBUN /mnt/UBUN ext4 defaults,noauto,user,noatime 0 2
I mount it by hand when I need to get to the Ubuntu OS.
My data partition is similar, though:
Code: Select all
# Mount at boot:
LABEL=DATA /mnt/DATA ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
Check that your UUIDs match:
I'm not running Mint 19, but I'd be surprised if 19 has significantly different fstab entries than 18 or 17 ...
