/etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# /home was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=1d101b5b-ac69-4afa-a86d-6f538edd9461 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
# swap was on /dev/sda2 during installation
UUID=5130e73e-6a69-4612-bdd2-5eba05cdb008 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
UUID="3477a04f-d073-46d9-8c7e-237012714900" ext4 defaults 0 0
This is my fstab, the last entry refers to an additional hardrive sdb1, which used to mount seamlessly until I had to reinstall system, now it requests root password.
Computer boots OK, the UUID i got from command blkid, but something is missing in that entry.
Please help.

/dev/sdb1 /media/ckosloff/Data
It worked, this is my new fstab.
I got mount point by mounting after root password and then right-cliking on address bar in Dolphin file manager, select Edit, which revealed the actual mount point.
Thank you.

You have used a mount point employed by udisks2 for auto-mounting so you should probably choose a different one. And maybe fill in the other fields as well:
Using /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab is unwise because the block devices are assigned dynamically and so change from one boot to the next, this is why the other entries use UUIDs instead.
I corrected fstab once again according to latest suggestions and of course it worked.
It is indeed the correct way to do it and it reproduces the syntax used by system upon install.
Thanks for all the help.
