I am running Ubuntu server 20.04 with docker compose and PhotoPrism. I have a directory in my home directory called Pictures I have been using fstab to mount network folders in the Pictures folder so PhotoPrism can access them. I have dozens of folders I eventually want to mount.

Specifically I was doing this in /etc/fstab. (using /040 for the spaces in the actual folder names):

/dev/disk/by-id/dm-uuid-LVM-tfJRQBcAfX0VGga307mApri9zeVLnHPeUmFzqEefVj0Dol2dniWzPlgcOxrIK81j / ext4 defaults 0 1
# /boot was on /dev/sda2 during curtin installation
/dev/disk/by-uuid/bce073ee-93d7-4a32-afc2-0e2121c06a55 /boot ext4 defaults 0 1
/swap.img       none    swap    sw      0       0

automount from synology box


192.168.1.60:/volume1/Hobbiton2-top /home/tomr54/Hobbiton2-top ntfs-3g nouser,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
192.168.1.60:/volume1/Hobbiton2-top/My\040Pictures/Alaska-2018 /home/tomr54/Pictures/Alaska-2018 ntfs-3g nouser,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
192.168.1.60:/volume1/Hobbiton2-top/My\040Pictures/Bob_Jackie_2003-2018 /home/tomr54/Pictures/Bob_Jackie nfs-3g nouser,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0

This was working fine for several days. Then yesterday when I booted the system and it went into Emergency Mode and it would not boot. I tried a number of solutions but nothing worked until I commented out the three lines; then my system booted normally.

Is there a better way do this? Thanks.

It seems that the mount type (3rd argument in each line) is wrong. It is not ntfs-3g. You made a typo on the 3rd line.

The mount type should be the protocol used by your server like nfs

I was able to resolve the issue with this: Solution from rushnash And by dropping the gid= entry in the fstab entry. So now it looks like this:

//192.168.1.60/Hobbiton2-top/My\040Pictures/Alaska-2018 /home/tomr54/Pictures/Alaska-2018 cifs credentials=/home/tomr54/.smbcredentials,uid=*my_user_id* 0 0
