What kind of file system is on that partition? What line did you add.

I think the following article addresses your point nicely:
http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm

No, Linux was not designed and has not evolved to be administered by people
who aren't willing to learn system administration. I doubt that it will ever
be suitable for truly non-technical users who don't want to improve their
knowledge and competence, except in very customized environments such as
Android. I would be glad to give you references to read and help if you wanted
to learn, but since you've said you don't want to, there isn't much more that
I can suggest at this point. I suppose you could arrange for someone else to
log into your machine remotely and do what you need. I'm not offering to do
that, as I would rather spend what time I can volunteer helping people who
want to learn for themselves.
