Can't mount ext4 partitions at boot
Hey,
I can't mount my second ext4 partition at boot of my Arch.
Manual mounting works just fine.
I have tried adding this line in /etc/fstab after I had chowned /mnt/linux:
UUID=PARTITION'S_UUID /mnt/linux ext4 defaults 0 0
I tried with "defaults 0 2" too and also tried using /dev/sdaX instead of UUID. Nothing works.
My NTFS mounts just fine at boot, but ext4 won't, and it gives me "S to skip mounting, M for manual recovery".
I have been trying to configure a similar setup on my friend's Linux Mint, and same problem.
And yes I am in wheel and storage group.
Why is this so (what I am doing wrong)?
Thanks.

Re: Can't mount ext4 partitions at boot
Why not use 'ext4' instead of 'auto'? Pass (the last number) should be 2.

Sorry, my mistake, actually this was a tipfeller, in reality I do use ext4 instead...

Re: Can't mount ext4 partitions at boot
Are you sure the UUIDs are correct and mountpoint exists?
Is it a usb drive? Maybe you need to wait a bit, add a delay at boot or mount it later.

Re: Can't mount ext4 partitions at boot

Personally, I have never seen this "S to skip mounting, M for manual recovery" in Arch.. systemd normally just dumps you to an emergency shell if it can't mount something. Are you using a different init?
And yes I am in wheel and storage group.
Why would this matter at boot up? You should probably remove yourself from storage if you're using systemd/logind. It's not necessary to be in that group any more.

Re: Can't mount ext4 partitions at boot
Thank you guys, I recently discovered the ls -l /dev/by-uuid/ command for a correct UUID listing, so I suppose this was the point where I had made mistake. I've just tried again and succeeded :-)

Re: Can't mount ext4 partitions at boot
You can also use 'lsblk -f' ro e.g. 'lsblk -no UUID /dev/sda2' https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab#UUID
And it's 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/'.
