Package: initscripts
Version: 2.87dsf-8
Severity: normal
Hi.
I'm not sure if this really belongs to initscripts, but as running
"mount -a" from the already booted system works I'd suggest so.
I have a fstab, that contains entries whose device-files do not exist
per default (at least not during boot), but the options include noauto.
When booting with such a fstab, the boot process fails, complaining
that the device file doesn't exist, and goes into maintenance mode.
As it should not mount "noauto" filesystems anyway, why does it have
to fail here?
A typical use case for the above scenario could be: Using encrypted
filesystems with dm-crypt.
The /dev/mapper/something device might be created manually when the
user sets up the mapping (either manually or via cryptdisks_start),...
still one might want to have a fstab entry for this.
Cheers,
Chris.
