Fstab Mount new LVG

$

I am having difficulty auto-mounting my newly created LVG. I tried adding the following line to /etc/fstab:

/dev/vgBackup/lvBackup /home/stuart/volume_backup ext3 defaults 0 1

I also tried swapping the /dev/vgBackup/lvBackup with something similar to UUID=f7b9a5e3-4fa3-4bfd-b9af-bf126c296213based on the ID that came up when I manually mounted the drive from Nautilus by clicking on the volume (it showed up in /media).Unfortunately, with both cases, I get a bootup message telling me that mounting fails and I have to press S to skip.

Manually mounting the drive from the CLI with:

sudo mount /dev/vgBackup/lvBackup /home/stuart/volume_backup 

works though.

Perhaps fstab is the wrong tool to use? Ideally the drive should be available to write to for the stuart user instead of root.

Additional Info

  • The drive currently uses the ext3 filesystem
  • 3.5TB in size.
  • consists of a 3TB and a 500G physical drives
