[SOLVED] Difficulty with fstab mount

[overload]

Hi, I installed for the first time Proxmox a few weeks ago.
Now I am trying to mount a 2tb drive from a windows maching
for now I want to mount the drive and setup a shared NAS via alpine
alpine works and the share works when I manually mount the drive in the proxmox shell with "mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/2tb"

Now I have read many how to's online and added various lines to fstab with no luck to have successful mount at boot.
I've tried:
UUID=1234-abcd /mnt/2tb ntfs-3g defaults,nofail 0 2
PARTUUID=1234-abcd /mnt/2tb ntfs defaults,nofail 0 2
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD20EZRX-00D8PB0_WD-WMC4M1971723-part1 /mnt/2tb ntfs-3g defaults,nofail 0 2
and even just /dev/sdc1, which i understand I should not do because the name has already changed on me once. In any case I tried and it also did not mount.

where am I going wrong?

Mmh, ntfs is in an experimental status and just readonly recommended.
Even sometimes you define ntfs and ntfs-3g but in general all your tries don't look bad either,
maybe the driver isn't ready in kernel when fstab is read.
EDIT: Try ntfs or ntfs3.
When I'm in your shoes I would copy the data out of the disk and do a linux filesystem on (xfs/ext4/zfs)

well I intend to copy the data over to proxmox with raid1 and then re commission this drive as extra storage / backup. I thought it easy and something to learn to mount and share this in the mean time.
what is the best, fastest way to transfer an old data drive? I have this one and another 5 TB NTFS to transfer to mirrored 10TB.
I am learning and trying proxmox as my new home server/lab which will be my media, data, photo archive storage and playground for openHAB, cloud, etc.
If the driver is no ready in kernel when fstab is read how to I check and/or change that?

OK I solved the problem!
I am a beginner (aka idiot):
After starting to question my sanity I ran fdisk -lu and found the drive/partition is fat32
I added PARTUUID=1234-abcd /mnt/2tb vfat defaults,nofail 0 2

and the LXC alpine share works as expected.
