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) :)
