my old server was ubuntu 16.04 and my new server is ubuntu 22.04 i used uuid on both setups this is the fstab from the old server Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.

Why not write it down when you see an error message? Anyway, I'm not sure it is wise to mount the disks to the same directory they were previously mounted on, there may be something there already. Or you have not created the mount point directory? I would examine the disk situation with commands Code: fdisk -l ls -lh /dev/disk/by-uuid and read man pages for commands blkid and lsblk to further see info about the disk devices. Then try as root manually mounting the disk device, it is command mount, man page available. When this works consider adding the disk device to /etc/fstab. I all fails, try Internet Search Engines with suitable search terms, something like "add disk device linux".
