External USB HD not being automounted according to fstab

  • 772

I have an external USB HD and I want it to be mounted on /data/FS/WD2Tb/.

I added the following line to my /etc/fstab file:

UUID="a05fab8c-5c4c-42be-9898-830ec5ad45dc" /data/FS/WD2Tb/ ext4 defaults,nofail,nobootwait 0 2

Yet, it's being mounted on /media/my_user/WD2Tb.

The UUID is correctly according to blkid:

/dev/sdb1: LABEL="WD2Tb" UUID="a05fab8c-5c4c-42be-9898-830ec5ad45dc" TYPE="ext4"

Do you have any idea why it's being automounted on /media/my_user/WD2Tb instead /data/FS/WD2Tb/?

mount

    The problem was the quotation marks. I didn't notice it before and it makes the fstab line to be ignored.
