I am on step number :4 Add the following line to the end of `/etc/fstab` to always mount the ECE drive on `/mnt/data` . ```auto /dev/xvdb /mnt/data xfs defaults,nofail,x-systemd.automount,prjquota,pquota 0 2 ``` **Note that you will need to edit `/etc/fstab` with `sudo` access.** When i try this, i am getting error ![Error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/9/69daa26259682d048b70b880ca4acdde11e53751.png) Any advise? please ---

Hello Mani and welcome to the forum. In order to edit the file `/etc/fstab` use the following command: `sudo vi /etc/fstab` Note: You can also use `vim` or `nano` if you are more comfortable with these editors. Best regards, Romain ---
