Error Occured While Mounting 0 - Ubuntu 13.04 Boot Error

[Dallin_Engberson]

I was messing around in /ect/fstab trying to add swap one day. It wasn't working so I decided to give up and reboot my computer, so I deleted the line for swap and rebooted. On boot up I was greeted by a message that said "Error Occured While Mounting 0" Where it asked me to either skip the booting or manually fix this. Here is my FSTAB:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' 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>
# / was on /dev/sda4 during installation
UUID=3f6522cb-036f-43be-a45f-2085126cd9f0 / ext4
errors=remount-ro 0 1

And here is my blkid:

/dev/sda1: LABEL="System" UUID="9AF6379DF6377919" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda2: LABEL="TI105847W0E" UUID="01CE94C3668D4170" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda3: LABEL="HDDRECOVERY" UUID="7A4282624282234D" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda4: UUID="3f6522cb-036f-43be-a45f-2085126cd9f0" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="USB20FD" UUID="6A64-3D4B" TYPE="vfat"

Thank you in advance!

So you installed with out a swap or are you trying to add more swap.

Ubuntu will not boot with a NTFS partition in the Fstab and will boot only when the file system is not unmounted in windows 8, the Ubuntu load screen will only show an infinite loop.

if you go into windows and restart immediately ubuntu will start immediately and work but only sometimes.

There was no swap when I installed and I was trying to add some by creating a 2 gb file in the root and assigning it as swap. I watched a Youtube video where someone tried it and it worked.

if your fstab really has a newline between the 'ext4' and the 'errors=remount-ro'

UUID=3f6522cb-036f-43be-a45f-2085126cd9f0 / ext4
errors=remount-ro 0 1

(i.e. it's not just the forum formatting) then you need to remove it - like this

UUID=3f6522cb-036f-43be-a45f-2085126cd9f0 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

Apparently I had pressed enter while removing the swap line. Thank you so much!
