Hi!
Until last week my external HDD was mounted automatically during the boot but now it's not.
I haven't modified anything related to the fstab.
This is what the fstab file contains:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda5 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda7 /home ext4 defaults,user_xattr 0 2
/dev/sdc1 /media/HDD ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
# mount point for Acer A500
mtpfs /media/a500 fuse user,noauto,allow_other 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sc1 is the partition I want to mount during the boot:

Any idea of what could be happening?

Can you mount the drive manually?

Yes, just by doing
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/HDD
the HDD is mounted

I've greped in the boot log and this is what appears:
Wed Oct 10 10:16:30 2012: :: Mounting local filesystems [BUSY] ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdc1': No existe el fichero o el directorio
It says that the file or directory does not exist but it does

What about doing the following command?
gpart -w
I've found this on the ubuntu forums here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1874623 - after doing some googling.

It's ntfs not ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab
I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...

@eherranzr - See if you can download "ntfsprogs" from the official "Extra" repository then reboot the system, it should then automount the NTFS partition as the program did on my system.

Fuse, ntfsprogs, and ntfs-3g had to be installed.
I have ntfs in my /etc/fstab and it works as long as the above is satisfied.
NVM, mount.ntfs and mount.ntfs-3g is the same command.

Maybe it's trying to be mounted from fstab before udev sets it up? Internal drive or external drive? Initscripts, I assume?

It's something strange because sometimes (now for example) the partition is mounted during the boot without problems.

how about using smartmontools (or gsmartcontrol) to see if the drive is having an issue, then?

sounds like sometimes the drive is not ready yet when the system tries to mount it.
Also you're fstab is not listing anything with dev/sdb .
please post the output of
#fdisk -l
so we can see what drives are present on your system.
Is sdc an external or internal harddrive ?
if an external drive how is it connected ( usb, eSata, firewire, bluetooth, network ) ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

I've posted that output before:

Oh sorry! It's true, I forgot that info.
It's an external HDD. Exactly a WD My Book Essential of 1TB connected by USB

Out of interest what about this http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get- … ystem.html - I know it's from openSuse but it might help slightly on Arch Linux.
