Fresh install Of Mint 17.

I have few partition and 3 OSs Win/Ubuntu-Gnome/ and this newly installed Mint. One of these partition is a storage disk for all documents, photos etc.. and I used to use it from both Linux OSs without any problem and mount it during start by editing fstab. Last days i decided to try Mint 17.3 and after installation I wanted to edit fstab via disk manager and

• 
  

  after changing mounting properties to

  
  
  

  dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx(here proper UUID) /mnt/Local ext4 nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
  

  
  
  

  it failed with

  
  
  

  Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sda3:
  Command-line mount "/mnt/Local"' exited with non-zero exit status 32:
  mount: wrong fstype, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3`
  

  
  


• So I check it with fsck.ext4 /dev/sda3 : no faults


• Then I tried mount with mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/Local And it was mounted
  successfully :) (and it is mounted as ext4 - as it should be)

I tried all possible options via UUID, via /dev/sda3 via LABEL and it is not working - the same error... I have to add that the same option in fstab under my Ubuntu Gnome works properly... Any ideas?

First Method:

1. 
   

   using the following command to check filesystem type and UUID and partition associated

   
   
   

   # sudo blkid
   

   
   


2. 
   

   in /etc/fstab add the entry in following format as

   
   
   

   UUID=XXX.XXX.XXX /mnt/local ext4 defaults 0 0
   

   
   
   

   (in-case file system is ext4)

   
   


3. 
   

   mount the partition using

   
   
   

   # mount -a
   

   
   


4. 
   

   to check partion is working fine or not using

   
   
   

   # df -h
   

   
   

Another method:

1. 
   

   use following command to check the partition(current and umounted)

   
   
   

   # lsblk
   

   
   


2. 
   

   enter the entry in /etc/fstab eg: if block partition is /dev/sda6

   
   
   

   /dev/sda6 /mnt/local ext4 defaults 0 0 
   

   
   

Any one method will help you...

The problem is with wrong option "x-gvfs-show". "comment=x-gvfs-show" shall be used instead.

From your question it seems you wrote /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx /mnt/Local ext4 nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0 in your /etc/fstab when it should be UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx /mnt/Local ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,exec,auto,nouser,async,nofail,comment=x-gvfs-show 0 0.

(defaults: rw suid dev exec auto nouser async)
