How to auto mount exFAT drives in Fedora 21 KDE
Hi all, I had a question as follows:
How do I auto mount exFAT partition in Fedora 21, that is defaulted with KDE. (Did not install GNOME)
What I did:
1) Using Konsole and typed the following command:
sudo kwrite /etc/fstab
2) Enter the following line:
UUID=702D-912D /run/media/Username/DATA exfat defaults 1 2
3) Reboot.
However, when I reboot, the system went into Emergency Mode and I have to use "vi" to remove this line stated above.
I would like to provide more details, but I do not know how to get the relevant journal / log files.
What worked:
1) When I use Fedora 20 (Default Standard with GNOME), auto mount of exfat is possible.
2) When I manually mount exfat partition after login, it mounts without problem. However, this exFAT partition is my common drive to put my DATA files to be read / write across Windows 8 / OSX 10.10 and Fedora 21. (Yes, it is MacBook)
3) The UUID is checked by "sudo blkid" and the target mount point is a valid folder.
4) The following packages have already been installed, but problem still persist:
exfat-utils
fuse-exfat
util-linux

Sorry for the late reply, as I did not have access to my laptop during this period.
File from /etc/fstab:

The above is exactly my /etc/fstab has, and the red line refers to the problematic line that makes the booting fail in my MacBook.
fdisk -l:
