How to make this as persistent mount point

Linux Basics Course

#1

I was following Linux Challenges to test my Linux skills, in the architecture diagram provided there was a task which told to make mount point persistent on reboot using default options.

So I added this line to /etc/fstab then also it was not able to green tick.

" /dev/dba_storage/volume_1 /mnt/dba_storage xfs defaults 0 0 "

and then did mount -a

If someone has figured out what is wrong please help.

I used /dev/mapper/dba_storage-volume_1:

[bob@centos-host ~]$ cat /etc/fstab

oh so … maybe because if we use df -h , we get /dev/mapper/<lvm_name> comes and I was doing without /mapper so that can be the issue ? can you try using without /mapper ?

what can you say ? how Kodekloud runs their test-cases
