Making an entry in fstab for new xfs partition

I formatted my ext3 sda4 partition to use the xfs filesystem. I tried to update the fstab, but when I rebooted, I couldn't mount that partition without first entering a password. I tried changing the permissions on the /media/sda4 folder for read/write, read only, read only with the file manager, with the group set to my group, but that didn't work either.

Here is my fstab file:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

#

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

proc            /proc          proc    defaults        0      0

# /dev/sda3

UUID=41778420-b400-4284-9cf5-dc39b70931db /        ext3        defaults,errors=remount-ro        0      1



# /dev/hdb1

/dev/hdb1                /media/hdb1        ext3        defaults,errors=remount-ro                0      1



# /dev/sda2

UUID=2C88743C8874071C        /media/sda2        ntfs        defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46        0      1



# /dev/sda4

UUID=7d8cfa29-9670-4c19-9e93-fd5993462273        /media/sda4        xfs        defaults        0      1



# /dev/sda1

UUID=224ee0d5-1338-49eb-a961-1aad6c32d75f        none                swap        sw                0      0



/dev/hda                /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660 user,noauto                                0      0

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

If this is an external drive, then it should mount for you the next time you restart the system. You can use sudo to mount it in the meantime. If it is an external drive then you don't want it to mount automatically at boot time, in case either the device isn't plugged in, or it is assigned to another device such as /dev/sdc4.

In that case, add the "noauto" option. If you want to mount it manually as a normal user, then add the "user" option.

Thank you for your help. I'll give that a try.
