The third line i have added myself giving the UUID of my USB harddisk and using ntfs-3g filesystem driver mounting at /media/samsunghd.

Yes, it was, but there was another issue connected to power supply which i could resolve thanks to your probing by question: The drive is plugged into an USB-hub which is attached to external power supply and the hub is attached to my RaspBerry Pi 2. Also WLAN adapter and USB printer are are attached to the hub, printer having its own power supply and harddisk completely over USB, WLAN adapter very small usage. What actually happened was, that the power plug of the hub was disconnected and it was drawing all its power from the USB port of the RaspBerry Pi 2 thus leaving the harddisk inoperational. I cleaned the room yesterday, maybe accidentally i unplugged partly the power plug of the USB hub. I put the plug tightly into the connector and now it works again.

You need to mark such non-essential mounts with the "nofail" flag.
