Partion Mount Problem-Ubuntu
Im dualbooting between windows 7 and ubuntu.recently i resized a partition from windows.It is a ntfs partition and ubuntu shows an error while mounting it using fstab.
I googled for the problem and came across this post,i ran the blkid command and the output was
/dev/sda1: UUID="128861E28861C537" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda5: UUID="01CAAC97429A0630" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda6: LABEL="Local Disk" UUID="FC120E2A120DEB0A" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda7: UUID="01CB738B717BD3A0" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda8: UUID="2e33b1aa-75e5-42a6-9de7-14b19573b782" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda9: UUID="eeabec66-dfa9-4149-8b75-444e29664d6e" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="Free agent Go" UUID="048E60E18E60CCAC" TYPE="ntfs"
i followed the instructions and my fstab file looks like this now
UUID=128861E28861C537 /media/128861E28861C537 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=2e33b1aa-75e5-42a6-9de7-14b19573b782 / ext4 defaults 0 1
UUID=eeabec66-dfa9-4149-8b75-444e29664d6e swap swap sw 0 0
UUID=01CAAC97429A0630 /media/01CAAC97429A0630 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=FC120E2A120DEB0A /media/Local Disk ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
UUID=01CB738B717BD3A0 /media/01CB738B717BD3A0 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
but when i run mount -a command i receive this error
[mntent]: line 5 in /etc/fstab is bad
please provide me with some suggestions to solve this i use mount manager to mount the partitions automatically but i am not able to mount this one partition manually also.i have performed check disk on this partition also.

It's because it has the space in 'Local Disk'.
Change it to 'Local\040Disk' and it should work fine.

Well, with Linux/UNIX is case and space senstive. It's a PITA, I'll say that.

Thank you for the help,i made the changes in the fstab as u said file but the problem persisted so i changed the entry to "local" and no problem now.
btw,\040 mean space?

Well, if it's caps.. you make it caps. Linux is also case sensitive.
And \040 is a way of breaking out a space, so technically, yes, it is.
