Here’s the entry in the fstab file for mounting my hard drive. I have bolded the name of the hard drive (that’s what it shows up as on the dock when it isn’t mounted):

UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000    0   0

After making that entry in fstab, I execute the, systemctl daemon-reload, command, and then mount -a, afterwards which gives me this error.

    But you have a space in there. I don’t know how spaces are handled in fstab. You’ll either need to quote it or at least escape the space

    Instead of using spaces or quotes (single or double), I used \040 (as @shortdorkyasian) said and that made all the difference:

    UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0
