Im completely new to this so I don't know anything.

As of 2 days ago I wasn't able to boot up normally anymore, it sent me straight to the emergency mode. I did research and found my way into the shell where I entered mount -c to check where the problem is (line 18, the one I wrote as a code line), then I entered vi /etc/fstab to try to solve it and again, I'm new to this, so I don't see anything wrong with it, feel free to tell me if I'm being too vague or I phrased something wrong, english isn't my first language, thx in advance.

/dev/md3 /media/DATOS   ext3 realtime, errors=remount-ro 0 1

I don't know whether it will improve things at all or not, but I point out the problems I see with the line you posted anyways:

Instead of:

/dev/md3 /media/DATOS   ext3 realtime, errors=remount-ro 0 1

have it as:

/dev/md3 /media/DATOS   ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

I have changed realtime to relatime and removed the space between the two options delimited by the comma.

Point being, entries in /etc/fstab need to be divided into 6 columns (divided by spaces or tabs), as such:

<file system>   <mount point>   <type>   <options>   <dump>   <pass>

That's why it's important not to put spaces between the options: to maintain the six columns.

Regarding the first, "file system" column (in your entry /dev/md3):

Maybe this is not mandatory (I don't know), nevertheless I see that it's a tendency that people use UUIDs (unique identifier) of partitions in that column.

That would alter your entire entry as such:

UUID=something123-like456-this789-asdfjkl   /media/DATOS   ext3   relatime,errors=remount-ro   0   1

You can find out the actual UUID for all the partitions with the following command:

sudo lsblk -o UUID,NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL,MODEL
