Not mounting after restart?
I am mounting a drive via SSH, and then editing the fstab to reflect the changes, however after I reboot, the drive doesnt mount?
I dont understand what I'm doing wrong?
This is my fstab and its /md0 that isnt mounting after reboot, am I missing something?
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/md4 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1

/dev/mdXis supposed to be a RAID device - is it properly created during boot? It usually requires you to have at leastmdadm --auto-detectrun before you can use it (and supposing you have created the RAD with a superblock that can be detected).

You have not even specified an OS - different OS' have different fstab formats. Please help us avoid guessing, and timestamp your questions by specifying your OS distribution and version.

Sometimes the cause is not the fstab configuration itself, the problem could lay somewhere else.
By simply adding a swap entry into your /etc/fstab file it does not magically activate the swap partition. Usually this is done by a swapon call, which can be made either manually or programatically:
- Manually: simply run
swapon -ain your terminal which will try to turn on all swap partition declared within yourfstabfile. - Programatically: hopefully your distro comes with a
/etc/init.d/swapdaemon/service which does just that.
I had a situation when for some reasons I wanted to deactivate the swap (by swapoff and also prevent re-mounting automatically after each reboot by removing the init script service). However, after some time I changed my mind and I set back the swap except that I forgot to re-add the swap init script service (eg. /etc/init.d/swap).
So I fixed it by (1) configuring the fstab and (2) by adding the swap init script service.
