Here’s the entry in the fstab file for mounting my hard drive. I have bolded the name of the hard drive (that’s what it shows up as on the dock when it isn’t mounted):

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000    0   0

After making that entry in fstab, I execute the, systemctl daemon-reload, command, and then mount -a, afterwards which gives me this error.

    Issue is with the space in “New Volume”, I bet. Should likely be /media/lucky/New\ Volume

    Or, I vaguely remember having to add like \040 or something in place of the space. I’ve dealt with this in the past… And found it easier to use a “-” instead of a space… Or no space at all, obviously.

      Using \040 instead of single or double quotes resolved my issue.

      Now Debian automounts the hdd.

        Good deal. After my post I saw someone else had also suggested the \040, prior to me… I just hadn’t read all the comments. Glad it’s sorted.
