persistant drive mount problem

[offerlam]

Hi guys,
its with my head bowed in shame i need to ask help on this.
I didn't know what i'm doing wrong. I have been googling and from the reads im doing it right?

I have added this line in fstab but when i boot proxmox it goes into emergency mode because the line is incorrect.
I just don't see what i'm doing wrong?

#/dev/sdd /mnt/ssd03 ext4 default 0 0

is the unique identifier a requirement? how do i find it for /dev/sdd

What is /dev/sdd for a drive?
ZFS?

What is your usecase for mounting it via fstab?

In general I would use a line with simple space -> /dev/sdd /mnt/ssd03 ext4 default 0 0

Hi,
its a raid 10 with 4 SSD disks.
use case is that i want proxmox to automount the drive on boot. as it is now i need to mount it manually everytime the server restarts.
So the problem with the line is that i seperate with tab in stead of space?

My fstab mounts work just with spaces but without tabs.

If it's a hardware RAID controller with no other usage then VM disks you might want to think about PVE built-in LVM-thin pools.
They do the mounting "magic" automatically.

Not a requirement but you should use one or you might end up with a non-booting system like you do now when the disk enumeration changes (your sdd then for example is sdc so there is no sdd and mounting will fail).

how do i find it for /dev/sdd

Use blkid to find out the UUID of your disk/partition. Or use ls -la /dev/disk/by-id to get another unique identifier.

#/dev/sdd /mnt/ssd03 ext4 default 0 0

Did you create /mnt/ssd03 first? Did you format the whole disk with ext4 and not a partition on it? Because you try to mount he whole disk and not a partition on it.

Maybe it takes a little too long for the disk to become available? You could try adding noauto,x-systemd.automount to mount it only when it is used.

Im not sure to be frank. does it matter much?

I will try and correct my fstab with spaces and see how that goes. Perhaps try the attrib leeteken provided aswell and see what happens. also add a UIUID.

tomorrow

No, this does not matter.

Yes, the directory that you mount to must also exist.
