No newline in fstab

     

   Error showing up about newline in fstab.

  Activity required:  carriage return (enter) at last entry in fstab to create newline.

  Performed that religiously but the error message remains.

  Perhaps someone knows how to eliminate the newline error message?

Re: No newline in fstab

perhaps if you show us your fstab we can tell you what syntax error is causing that problem.

#End of File

If this is actually the last line of the file, 100 newlines before it won't make a difference. You need the last line of the file to be an empty one.
