[SOLVED] Cannot mount external drive

[Felix Pastron]

I'm trying to permanently mount an external drive to one of my Proxmox nodes. I added it to /etc/fstab, but when I run "mount -a", I get the following error:

"mount: /mnt/externaldrive: unknown filesystem type 'extfat'."

I tried installing/updating exfat-fuse and exfat-utils, but still same error. Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

can you show me what your "/etc/fstab" looks like?

This is what I added to the file:

UUID=8E6C-DA5F /mnt/externaldrive       extfat    noatime,x-systemd.automount 0 2

The filesystem on many flash devices is exFAT, you might have just mistyped it with 'extFAT'

Wow, yes, I definitely did. Thank you!
