Good Day . . . Thank You for the reply.
Unfortunately you addressed my nice to know stuff (noauto) and did not address the need to know bug which was a stopped boot process. For your information, I did read the man pages for fstab, fsck and fsck.ext3. None addressed the issue of the bug. My bug is that fsck is trying to read uninstalled hard drives which causes the boot process to end abruptly. If I change the pass number to zero then the drives are not checked when they are installed which I don't want. Regardless of your opinion (which I respect) this is a bug! The boot process should proceed through fsck without critical issues such as, "Press CTRL-D to continue" -- fsck - Trying to Verify Removed Removable Drives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
