Unable to mount internal hard-drive

My computer has an SSD and an internal hard drive. I tried to set things up so that the hard drive would mount automatically on start-up. Unfortunately, something must have gone wrong because I can't mount it at all. I tried to put things back the way they were with the backup copy of fstab that I made before starting, but that didn't help.



When I try to access my hard drive using Files, I get the message:



Unable to access “47862f8f-0d45-4f1e-94f1-bb9ce2b88d23”


mount: /etc/fstab: parse error: ignore entry at line 10.

Here are the contents of fstab.
