Depending on the bahavior you want, you should choose one of the 2 lines, but not both. I believe the latter triggers the "Duplicate entry" warning . So if you want your device to be mounted when inserted, choose the line with defaults,noatime,auto,nofail If you want the device mounted when the mounted directory is accessed, choose the line with x-systemd.automount HTH -- https://github.com/dod38fr/ -o- http://search.cpan.org/~ddumont/ http://ddumont.wordpress.com/ -o- irc: dod at irc.debian.org
