Mounted drives appearing twice in lists

I have an NTFS data partition on the same drive as my Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) partition. I wanted to have this partition automatically mount at startup so that Dropbox can start synchronising at startup without me having to manually mount it (my Dropbox folder is on the partition). I edited the fstab file by appending the following to it:

#Data-Partition
UUID=762639DE416D0A21 /media/Data ntfs-3g rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000    0   2

The drive now automounts at startup like I wanted, but now I have a duplicate Data entry under my Devices list. This only appeared after editing the fstab file.

Image showing the problem

The second Data entry under Devices does not mount properly, and I do not want it there. Why is this duplicate entry there, and how can I get rid of it?

Additional information:

Here is the output I get from cat /proc/partitions:

major minor  #blocks  name

8 0 976762584 sda 8 1 102400 sda1 8 2 111574016 sda2 8 3 803643392 sda3 8 4 1 sda4 8 5 55410688 sda5 8 6 6028288 sda6 11 0 1048575 sr0

  • could you paste the output of the command: cat /proc/partitions – tomodachi Jun 10 '12 at 21:54
  • @tomodachi I added output from cat /proc/partitions to the question. – JohnReed Jun 10 '12 at 22:15

    Change fstab to mount by label instead of UUID, this is a bug reported on Launchpad already. I'm sorry I can't post a link right now but try searching for the duplicate here. – Tom Brossman Jun 10 '12 at 22:29

  • @TomBrossman Excellent, that fixed the problem. I'll be sure to check Launchpad first for future problems first (I'm relatively new to linux). Thanks. – JohnReed Jun 10 '12 at 22:35
