Hi,
Why do I see the can’t find in /etc/fstab error when I enter mount /dev/mmcblk on my BeagleBone Black terminal?

root@BeagleBone:/home/debian# mount /dev/mmcblk
mount: /dev/mmcblk: can’t find in /etc/fstab.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

You have the command wrong.
The emmc/asd card devices are named

mmcblkXpY

Where X = the device and Y = the partition

If there is no entry in the fstab file for the partition you are trying mount, you also need to specify the mount point.

If someone could mention, how can I get back?
