When I try to select my secondary HDD (internal HDD) I get this error message:



Unable to mount location
Error creating moint point: No such file or directory



What kind of sorcery is this?



This is in 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>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sdb6 during installation
UUID=75537d5d-c9bb-416b-8a6e-10e4c237048e / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sdb7 during installation

A little clarifacation on the mount command, found here.



The command


mount

Is responsible for mounting filesystems. The syntax for this command is quite simple (remember that mount must be run with super user privideges to change the system) so:


sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

Will mount the filesystem on /dev/sda1 (which may be a USB drive, a SATA drive or a SCSI >drive) into the folder /mnt. That means that going into /mnt will show you the filesystem >which is on /dev/sda1.
