    an error occurred while mounting 0...

    Hi everybody, how are you? I had to start this thread because the initial thread I found was closed.

    I have a dual-boot running (with Windows 7) on a Samsung SSD drive. I used the following site (https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd) to tweak Ubuntu 13.04 to optomize my SSD.
    I did #6 (left side of page) and now I get the "an error occurred while mounting 0". Can I get some help?

    You probably did something wrong to the fstab line. If you post your fstab here, I can take a look at it:
    Code:
    gedit /etc/fstab

    My output for "sudo blkid" is:

    /dev/sda1: LABEL="OS" UUID="F6F09AA3F09A699F" TYPE="ntfs"
    /dev/sda5: LABEL="Image" UUID="0D691B100D691B10" TYPE="ntfs"
    /dev/sda6: UUID="1e97dcf2-33fa-4ab3-9f63-a3b4be2e5533" TYPE="ext4"
    /dev/sda7: UUID="27a3ced2-0945-43fc-936b-4f411a08cdaa" TYPE="swap"

    OK, I see....

    The line break for sda6 is probably the culprit. It should be one line, not two. Erase the line break and replace it by a space, so it becomes like this:
    Code:
    UUID=1e97dcf2-33fa-4ab3-9f63-a3b4be2e5533 / ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    Then reboot. All should be well.

    In order to prevent future errors, I'll write something about this in my manual.
