[Bug 571444] Re: Boot hangs and unable to continue when automount disk in fstab is not available (Off or Disconnected)
I believe the correct policy for mountall is to ignore missing filesystems that are marked with options "owner", "user" or "noauto". Everything else should properly cause a hang (unless an admin explicitly says a filesystem isn't required via nobootwait). "noauto" should already be ignored and "user"/"owner" says it's definitely not required for booting. Anything else seems reasonable to block on. -- Boot hangs and unable to continue when automount disk in fstab is not available (Off or Disconnected) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@dblade I wasn't taking a stand on the other issues.

After being frustrated with this bug for a while, I grabbed the mountall source... it's a lot of stuff, but one thing I found was the "nobootwait" option. Adding "nobootwait" to all my "auto" mounts allowed my system to boot up without intervention. Although the fstab manpage is a little terse describing nobootwait, it seems like a reasonable solution. Still, it would certainly be better for everyone if Ubuntu dealt with this more automatically... -- Boot hangs and unable to continue when automount disk in fstab is not available (Off or Disconnected) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
