Don't mess with /etc/mtab. That is a list maintained by the
mount(8)/umount(8) commands of currently mounted filesystems. he file you
want to be working with is /etc/fstab, which lists filesystems and where
tehy should be mounted.

FILES
       /etc/fstab file system table
       /etc/fstab.order for multipath device priority
       /etc/mtab table of mounted file systems
       /etc/mtab~ lock file
       /etc/mtab.tmp temporary file
