I have mounted an external NTFS HD at startup and want to bind a subdirectory to my ~/Documents folder. For this, I added the entries below to fstab, based on this answer:
# Local HD MountsUUID=XXXXXXXXXX /mnt/dpvs auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0# Local binds/mnt/dpvs/Documents /home/username/Documents none defaults,bind 0 0
I can mount the external HD (first entry), but the second entry doesn't work at startup. The directory is empty, Devices shows a "Documents" mount, and unmounting gives me an error (umount: /home/username/Documents: umount failed: Operation not permitted
). Strangely, if I boot without the binding entry, then add it to fstab and remount with mount -a
, it works.
What can I do to mount this subdirectory?
