Here’s the entry in the fstab file for mounting my hard drive. I have bolded the name of the hard drive (that’s what it shows up as on the dock when it isn’t mounted):
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New Volume ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0
After making that entry in fstab, I execute the, systemctl daemon-reload, command, and then mount -a, afterwards which gives me this error.
Is it literally named new volume? If so perhaps the space is throwing things off. Try quoting the whole path perhaps?
And dump the asterisks if that is the actual entry.
The asterisks are not in fstab file. I just added them here to emphasize the name of the hdd.
Yup, that’s the name.
I changed the entry on fstab to this (tried it with both single quotes and double quotes) and I’m stilling getting the parse error:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 "/media/lucky/New Volume" ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0Btw I’m using the ntfs-3g driver, if that helps.

There were no asterisks in the fstab file, I just placed them here to emphasize the name of the hdd.
Btw I got Debian to automount the hdd (thanks to @shortdorkyasian) by adding this entry to the fstab file:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0Using \040 instead of a space or quotes (single or double) made it work.
