Drive is not mounting

Support & Help Requests
#1

I think I found out why I can not see a directory.

I do not think dev/sda2 is being mounted.

I saw in gparted that it has no mountpoint.

Is that required?

Thanks.
The line before the swapfile is my attempt at fixing that.

/etc/fstab has 6 fields, you are missing the last field (a zero).

lsblk -f will list all drives and their filesystem.

sudo mount -a should mount all drives found in /etc/fstab

df will show the mounted drives
