The link in the opening sentence (hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20050805062520199) is broken. That's a shame because it's the only substantive document related to /etc/fstab referenced here (and man fstab is pathetically outdated).

Note: if there are spaces inside the mount path, then those need to be represented with the escaped code \040. E.g. "/path/to/my volume" must be /path/to/my\040volume. Otherwise it will fail silently (to actually see the mounting error run mount -a in the terminal).

Unfortunately you can't copy the UUID from the window that diskutil pops up, but you can copy it if you go in Terminal and run diskutil info Kingston32 where Kingston32 is the name of the drive.

Thanks! I was so worried about this, in my case my hard drive is APFS so I edited vifs with UUID=123abc /desired/mount/path apfs rw 1 2 and it worked, I have no idea what I am doing but it worked. The main reason I did this was to have that folder be case sensitive for runing docker with volumes... problem solved.

Had no joy with this but what did work for me was to write an Applescript where I pass the path using the hdiutil command. I then save as an Application and run on startup from my User setting in System Preferences. Syntax is: hdiutil mount -mountpoint /path/to/mountpoint <named.dmg>

Editing of fstab is preferably done with sudo vifs!

I suggest that you read the man 5 fstab manual. The fifth field in the fstab entry is the instruction on whether you allow the filesystem to be dumped (crippled in macOS, 0 would be a better choice). The sixth field is used to determine the order in which fsck is run.
