Can only mount with gparted

I have the following /etc/fstab entry which fails to execute at system boot/startup:



/dev/sdb1 /media/ssd256 ext4 rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0


Doing



sudo mount -a


yields:



mount: /media/ssd256: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.


However, if I sudo gparted and mount via its UI, then the device is mounted.
I am not sure how to fix this issue.



EDIT:
I changed the options to use defaults instead of rw,user,exec,umask=000, now sudo mount -a also works.
The question now is: what is wrong with my initial options?

    Does gparted actually show an ext4 filesystem type for this device? What output for fsck command on /dev/sdb1? What if you replace options rw,user,exec,umask=000 with just "defaults"?

dmesg| tail will show



EXT4-fs (dm-4): Unrecognized mount option "umask=000" or missing value


Indeed, umask option is not part of accepted ones for ext4 fs : see man mount



this is why...
