/etc/fstab file: Successfully added automounting -just to tidy it up now

[bikefreakvinnie]

Hi Folks,
In Ubuntu server 12.04 I've edited the /etc/fstab
this is to have auto mount points for usb hard drives...
However on start up if one is turned off I get an error! Is it possible to add somewhere to mount these drives if present?

If anyone wants anymore details let me know...

thanks if anyone can help

You can use the nofail optionto ignore if the device is absent.

Great thankyou Plueonic i presume if i put in the following:

dev/divice /media/movies ntfs nofail,defaults 0 0

Yep

I've since added:

defaults,nobootwait

seem grand so far!
