Help with Drive Mount Error
Asked by
CuriousCactus77
I'm following a guide to set up drive mounting for my storage, but I'm running into a problem. I'm getting an error message that says 'unknown parameter uid'. Here's what I've got in my fstab: `UUID=(the uuid of the drive) /media/windows ext4 defaults,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0`. What can I do to fix this?

If the error is about the uid, it might help to just check the parameters you’re using. But seriously, if you're having this kind of trouble, sometimes it's easier to take a step back. Maybe try a different mounting point or format?

It looks like you're trying to mount a Windows partition, right? In that case, you should be using `ntfs3` instead of `ext4` in your fstab. Also, it's a good idea to mount permanently to `/mnt/DIRECTORY` or `/home/USER/DIRECTORY` instead of `/media`, since that’s typically reserved for removable drives.
