I agree with comment #21. This is an important feature, and it's strange that 
it hasn't been implemented yet. The expected behaviour should be:
- If device can be mounted, mount it.
- If device can't be mounted, skip it (also possibly log the event somewhere).
- Optionally allow for specifying time for the device to go online.

In my case, it would be very useful in cases when you have to use an
external partitioning tool to change some non-essential partition on
your disk - right now it just fails to boot, leaving you with very
primitive tools to make it boot again without that partition being
mounted.
