Confirming because I'm seeing this on current Maverick (as of today). I added a line to the end of my fstab:
/dev/sde /frob default ext3 defaults 1 2 (sde doesn't exist). Mountall just hangs - no diagnostics at all. Rebooting in 'recovery mode' doesn't help either. A missing drive or screwed up /etc/fstab should be fixable from recovery mode shouldn't it? In the recovery mode my console says: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 /dev/vda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced. /dev/mapper/server1-root: clean, 81728/874832 files, 460278/3495936 blocks (check in 5 mounts) /dev/vda1: 225/124496 files (7.1% non-contiguous), 73373/248832 blocks mountall: fsck /boot [346] terminated with status 1 and that's it So the only diags were from the unclean reboot (not sure why it's moaning about /boot) and no diags at all for the broken/wrong device.
