Can you please not send screenshots, they're too hard to read. Please do a copy from your terminal window and paste as a CODE-segment into the reply…

Why did you put an # in front of that line, this basically disables that one. Remove the # and that should do it.

i placed the # because the system would boot into recovery mode. Just wanted to show what i had written, i know the # disables

That's why I suggested to try that first using umount/mount to see whether the enry in fstab is correct. You can also change the entry to look like this:

/dev/sdb1    /mnt/sdb                   ext4    defaults        0 0

But you should in any case test that before rebooting…

• adjust /etc/fstab
• umount /mnt/sdb
• check that the volume has been unmounted
• mount /mnt/sdb
• again check that the volume has mounted successfully

That did the trick! Thank you
