From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is it literally named new volume? If so perhaps the space is throwing things off. Try quoting the whole path perhaps?
Yup, that's the name.
I changed the entry on fstab to this (tried it with both single quotes and double quotes) and I'm stilling getting the parse error:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 "/media/lucky/New Volume" ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0Btw I'm using the ntfs-3g driver, if that helps.
And dump the asterisks if that is the actual entry.
The asterisks are not in fstab file. I just added them here to emphasize the name of the hdd.
sometimes there are those times when you've been at it for 6-8 hours straight with no break, and you keep staring at that one line in your config, trying so hard to see this mistake. is it a comma out of place? did i missplell something? no? and you're staring at it so long that you just don't see the glaringly obvious:
it's that one remnant that you probably copy/pasted from a tutorial page and you're too brain-fried to consider that it's a part of the line you should have changed, so you're not looking at it, but there it is. but, hey, that's why forums like this exist: to get a fresh pair of eyes on the problem.
we've all been there.
There were no asterisks in the fstab file, I just placed them here to emphasize the name of the hdd.
Btw I got Debian to automount the hdd (thanks to @shortdorkyasian) by adding this entry to the fstab file:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0Using \040 instead of a space or quotes (single or double) made it work.
lmao, ok i see.
in any case, i'm very glad that you got your drive mounted!
