Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04 (Linux Mint 18.3)
Related package: Not sure (system-d?)
Happens: During boot up
Regression:
You'll be greeted with "Welcome to emergency mode!" if something is wrong with
an additional device connected at /etc/fstab, for example a disk for backups.
1) That message doesn't give any idea whats's actually going wrong.
2) There is no option to skip the error.
Earlier there was an error message about failed mount and option "S" to
skip mounting.
Suggested test case:
Insert some non existing UUID for disk into /etc/fstab and you'll see it, just
an example:
UUID=369dd78c-afcf-4967-81c9-ae672588f158 /mnt/backup ext4 errors=remount-ro 0
1
In my case it was an external USB disk for backups. Leaving the cable
disconnected was a good simple way to test missing device.
