fstab, I am missing something obvious

[Howard White]

Grrrrrr.

HP DL360 G5 with P400i RAID controller. One 72gb drive with Ubuntu
18.04 server, five 600GB drives configured RAID 5 for a 2.2TB virtual drive.

Ubuntu runs just fine, been running Folding at Home on it for a few days
but built the OS weeks ago. Haven't added /dev/sdb1 to the system, yet,
'cause I really didn't have a plan. Plan has just arrived...

First lesson - fdisk don't work beyond 2TB. Have used parted:
parted /dev/sdb
mklabel gpt
mkpart primary 0 0
print
q

Create file system mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
Create mount point mkdir -pv /raid

All that is tickety-boo.

I am able to mount the file system command line:
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /raid

But can I add the essential elements to /etc/fstab
UUID=c1056823-6a68-4bfd-92ba-c6e2f6e7cf37 /raid ext4 default 0 0

and just
mount /raid
??

Noooooooo

'default' should be 'defaults' I believe.
