failed to create mount unit

[tuji]

since yesterdays d-u it is not possible to enter my system. grub appears as usual. The system stops with errors :
modprobe : bad line 6 : 1 token found, need 2
systemd-fstab-generator failed to create mount unit. Duplicate entry in /etc/fstab ?
The following message follows:
systemd-fsck : root-SSD sauber. systemd-fscck : /dev/sda3 ist mounted. e2fsck : Fortsetzung nicht möglich.

I looked in the logfile by typing journalctl -xb as recommended and found a second error : "the process /bin/plymouth could not be executed and failed.

Please let me know if you need more info about my system (it is 64 bit with kde running, the disks are formatted with ext4, the last d-u was about 4 days ago.

Thanks in advance for hints what to do

Is there a duplicate line in fstab?  Make sure all UUID are ok. To do sso look at the output od blkid and compare to fstab. Do they all match?

hi Devel,
there are no duplicate lines in fstab.
The output of blkid are matching with the content of fstab. The UUIDs have i compared with the output of gparted, They are identical.
 the file fstab has the following content :

/dev/sda2   none   swap   sw   0  0
/dev/sda3  /media/disk1part3 ext4  noauto, users, rw, exec, relatime 0 0
/dev/sda4    /media/disk1part4 ext4  noauto, users, rw exec, relatime 0 0
/dev/sdb4  /media/disk2part4 ext3  noauto, users, rw, exec, realtime 0 0

Either your fstab is heavily corrupted (missing root and home), or you did not post the complete content. To help people supporting you, it is always a good idea to post the full filecontents or outputs you are asked for . To prevent spamming the forum, you can either use code-boxes around such output or a paste-service for bigger files (i.e. error logs).

Now please post again your full fstab and the full output of 'journalctl -b -p err'.
