    Does your current /etc/fstab already contain an entry for this sdb1 partition (UUID=1F56-06B0)? If so, the make-fstab script won’t make a new entry for it. You’d have to delete the existing one manually first.

    Also, if the existing entry you have in your current fstab is the one from this earlier post and you just copy-pasted it, note that there’s a typo extra apostrophe at the end of the line there that would likely cause the whole line to be ignored at boot.
