Bad line in /etc/fstab - Please help

[krlrvr]

Hi to all.

I'm running Karmic(64bit) on a stock HP dv3-2155mx and I ran into this message the other day.

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[mntent]: line 13 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /dev/sr0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

I googled around and became more confused.

I opened up /etc/fstab to find this

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs noexec,defaults,noatime 0 0

Not sure of what to replace line 13 with and if that's all that I have to do.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The cdrom line looks odd.

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noexec,defaults,noatime 0 0

needs to be just that

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Hi mikewhatever
That was it.
Works perfectly now.
Thanks for this.

I seem to have the same issue. It won't read any cd's. Here is my /etc/fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=06d55e08-7104-4429-8a6d-5d1a9c623087 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
