Hi Everybody,

[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes

I can make my /dev/sda6 mount by using:

su -
Password
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda6 /media/Storage\ Bin

I wanted it to mount at boot and so I changed settings in fstab as follows:

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda5         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev                   /media/"Storage Bin"   ntfs-3g auto,rw,user,sync,suid  0 0

I seem to have made a mistake somewhere since it does not mount automatically after I saved and reboot my system. CentOS 5.4 KDE.

Can somebody kindly point out what is wrong I am doing?

Thank you!

You mean?

/dev/sda6                  /media/Storage\ Bin   ntfs-3g auto,rw,user,sync,suid  0 0

Thank you shtromm!

/dev/sda6                  /media/Storage\ Bin   ntfs-3g auto,rw,user,sync,suid  0 0

I changed the entry to the above and still cannot mount auto. I can read an error report at boot saying something "bad....line 7 in fstab"

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0

if at all possible, I'd try getting rid of the space in the directory path. They will always haunt you. spaces are evil .. EEEE V V IIIIILLLLL

other than that, I have no idea what the issue would be.
