Help with mounting directory on /etc/fstab

I'm working on a small school project creating some Diskless Systems, followed the wiki and everything went fine. Every time i shut off the server though, the system mounted on the server unmounts and i have to manually mount the directory again using the command:

# mount -o loop,discard,compress=lzo /srv/arch.img /srv/arch

I looked into fstab and tried to mount it at boot modifying the file adding this line

/srv/arch.img /srv/arch btrfs loop,discard,compress=lzo 0 0

but I get a "failed to mount /srv/arch" when I boot. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or point me in the right direction please, I'd appreciate it.

Re: Help with mounting directory on /etc/fstab

Can you mount it afterwards using "mount /srv/arch"?
If yes (or maybe anyway), please post the entire fstab.
