Thread: fstab problems
having issues new fstab entry's trying. installed virtualbox run vm of windows 7 netflix , starcraft ii. reformatted old windows partition store vm's there. trying fstab copied /virtualbox vms folder mounted partition on folder /home/madjestyr/virtualbox vms. storage scheme created years ago works charm, can't new vm scheme entries work properly. not sure missing.
## storage scheme
/dev/sda5 /media/storage ext2 defaults,user,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/media/storage/fstab/videos /home/madjestyr/videos none bind
/media/storage/fstab/pictures /home/madjestyr/pictures none bind
/media/storage/fstab/music /home/madjestyr/music none bind
/media/storage/fstab/backup /home/madjestyr/backup none bind
/media/storage/fstab/documents /home/madjestyr/documents none bind
/media/storage/fstab/photos /home/madjestyr/photos none bind
## vm scheme
/dev/sda3 /media/vm ext2 defaults,user,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/media/vm/virtualbox\ vms /home/madjestyr/virtualbox\ vms none bind
sudo mount -a
[mntent]: line 28 in /etc/fstab bad
line 28 is: /media/vm/virtualbox\ vms /home/madjestyr/virtualbox\ vms none bind
boot.log reads
mount: unknown filesystem type '/home/madjestyr/virtualbox'
mountall: mount vms [977] terminated status 32
mountall: filesystem not mounted: vms
skipping vms @ user request
, creating vms folder in root whenever boot. partition sda3 mount fine. folder virtualbox vms won't mount properly. sure space don't know of other way of dealing other backslash.
not sure missed or how need re-write line frustrating.
i tempted answer "don't use space character in path names". hope following helps
