I have a Jessie VPS with external disks attached. The disks are specified in /etc/fstab with traditional /dev/sdXX naming. I recently made changes to the disks that made a device name invalid but didn't notice. When I rebooted, the disk couldn't be found and boot halted in rescue mode.
My question is: how can I specify devices in fstab so if they can't be found boot proceeds proceeds normally instead of halting? Would mounting with systemd with the 'device-timeout' option as described here be a good way? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fstab#Automount_with_systemd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
