ExFat at boot up

[Forkaster]

I am using Arch Linux for Raspberry Pi
I have installed the packages for ExFAT (like this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ExFAT) support and successfuly mounted a exfat drive.

I have added an entry to /etc/fstab that looks like this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/dev/sda1 /media/carrier exfat defaults,user 0 0')

But my boot now hangs up being unable to mount the drive.
What am I doing wrong here?

Just because it is the easiest thing to ask. You did create the dir /media/carrier correct?

[Forkaster]

Yes I did, I can mount the HDD just fine manually. But at bot I get that.

Also if I mount it manually, sometimes it gets unmounted without my command.

Try exfat-fuse instead of exfat for fs type

Appears to have done the trick, thanks.

You may want to add "noauto,x-systemd.automount" to the options list so that rpi will boot if the drive is not plugged in.
