You mix two different things. 1. The behavior that if filesystem from /etc/fstab fails to mount, boot is stopped and administrator intervention is required existed long before systemd. 2. Password is requested not by systemd, but by command that it starts to present shell. Default is sulogin. You are free to override it with anything you want, including /bin/sh. Again, sulogin was often default in this case before systemd as well. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
