reactivate WD Smartware VCD for My Book for Mac

Question

I have used:

sudo sh -c "echo UUID=`diskutil info /Volumes/WD\ SmartWare/ | grep 'UUID' | awk '{print $NF}'` none hfs rw,noauto 0 0 >> /etc/fstab" 

to deactivate the VCD but now want to lock the drive again using the VCD so i'd like to reverse the above code. But i'm a bit unsure what code i need to use as etc/fstab didn't exist originally.

Answer 1

To be sure, sudo cat /etc/fstab and verify it contains only a single line. Then sudo rm /etc/fstab will delete the file. Since it didn't exist before, all settings will be reverted to default.

If there's more than one line, there should be only a single line containing none hfs rw,noauto 0 0 toward the end. Enter sudo vim /etc/fstab, move the cursor to that line using arrow keys, press dd (will not be printed), then enter :wqand press Enter. Follow this description to the letter.
