Correct way of mounting fs at startup

[AndyC]

Hi Guys,

If I edit fstab to mount an extra filesystem on a partition on the memory card then the parallella doesn't boot, it fails to see the extra partition and hangs.

Whats the correct way of going about this?

Thanks for any help

See the nobootwait and nofail mount options.

@Andy,

Did you finally figured out?
I've created a new partion to full fill my SD card and realized that fstab was empty.
How can I mount it automatically?

@FHuettig,

Thank you for your suggestion, it worked like a charm ...
Problem solved!
By the way, why is fstab empty?
Is it a ubuntu feature (never used it before) or because we are on a SD card?
