Duplicate drive in "places" (help me configure fstab)

[IQAndreas]

My external harddrive shows up twice in my Places as well as the Nautilus sidebar. Cilcking that extra drive brings up:

Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened.
The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which
could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command.

The extra drive appeared after I modified fstab (with help from Google results) in order to allow directories on my external harddrive to be used in apache and other "background" applications.

This is how fstab currently looks. (Also, a general question, did I use the right options for my harddrive or is there anything Is should change?)

The commented out line is on purpose. I hate deleting lines in case I need to restore them later (why yes I'm a coder, how did you know?)


I realize this issue has been discussed before, and it's by fixing fstab somehow, but I want to make the changes to fix the problem without messing up my current setup.

It's not causing any problems, I just thought it might look nicer with the extra entry gone.

Your NTFS entry looks ok, though all you really need anymore is the following:

UUID=somenumber    /path/to/mount/location    ntfs-3g    defaults,locale=en_US.utf8    0    0

The first thing I'd try is to unmount both of the devices that are the same

Use mount to list your mounted devices

mount

then use

umount

and unmount both devices

Then restart and see if you only have the single drive mounted by /etc/fstab on booting.
