[SOLVED] fstab not mounting ext4 partition automatically

I currently have a partition (/dev/sda6) in my fstab which is formatted correctly, well as far as I'm aware anyway.

UUID=dc1fb7c6-950a-4371-9013-4b258475575b    /mnt/stg    ext4        rw,realtime    0 2

I can mount it perfectly fine using the mount command,

sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/stg

however when trying to mount after boot using sudo mount -a I get thrown the error

mount: /mnt/stg: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda6, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

I don't have the slightest clue why its not working when I try to mount it from fstab, any tips would be much appreciated. Here are the outputs of a couple of commands which might be of use:

$ lsblk -f
NAME   FSTYPE LABEL UUID                                 FSAVAIL FSUSE% MOUNTPOINT
sda

└─sda6 ext4         dc1fb7c6-950a-4371-9013-4b258475575b

$ sudo fsck /dev/sda6

It's relatime, not realtime.
Also please use code tags instead of quote tags for output.

Welcome to the boards IrregularWombat

Please post outputs in [ code ] not [ quote ] tags

The option is called  relatime not realtime.

Ah thank you very much, I did not see that. Also sorry I will use the [ code ] tag next time.
