fstab is messed up

[bobman321123]

I edited my fstab to allow for mounting a partition as part of the file system.
Since then, I've juggled the partitions around to make room for windows again, and I'd like it if someone could tell me how to restore my fstab back to the default.
Thanks

I'm not sure there's really such a thing as a 'default' fstab as such. However, if you post the results of:

cat /etc/fstab

and

sudo blkid

I think that will give us an idea of what your current partitioning scheme is and how it should be set up in fstab.

My suggestions. You changed data partition from ext4 to ntfs and have only one swap with an encrypted /home so all the other swaps are commented out. If it works ok, then you can delete the commented out lines.

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup
gksu gedit /etc/fstab

If you are in system or can boot run this after changes. If mounting from liveCD path will include the /media and mount that you give it.
sudo mount -a
If no errors it just returns or else tells you the issue.

Preferred entry style:
For ntfs:

Thanks oldfred, that worked perfectly.

Glad that worked.
