Even if you set your entry in /etc/fstab to NOT run fsck, the current mountall will HANG your system if there is a problem. BTW, I wrote a small script to make booting a system a little less scary.

oh god. i had this bug right now, i had to get my server from colocation as sshd didnt start because the boot stopped at mount/fsck (i stupidly added an automount for a -missing- pendrive with fsck option then made system to force fsck at boot. Not that hard mistake to make as it sounds at first.) please make mount and/or fsck AUTOMATICALLY SKIP missing devices. -- No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 609864] Re: No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04
You know what I would REALY love to see since I am always concerned about mountall giving me grief is and new option for the sixth field in fstab. If would be great if mountall could be updated such that the sixth field in fstab is: 0 Don't check and **DON'T PAUSE**, filesystem does not need to be checked, if mount fails keep booting. 1 ROOT Filesystem 2 Other Filesystems, checked sequentially 3 Filesystem is checked/mounted in the background ideally in a screen session, most importantly it will NOT PAUSE the boot and the admin can check the progress with SSH and screen. Another route is to NOT mention any data Filesystems in the fstab at all and have them mounted with a custom script.

[Bug 609864] Re: No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04
The reason you don't see anything is that you disabled the Ubuntu splash screen. If you remove the kernel options quite splash and you have entries in your fstab that the system has a problem mounting. **Your in trouble!** I use a serial console to manage all my servers and this upstart bug is a major concern for me. I may have to forgot upgrading my servers to Lucid because of this.

[Bug 609864] Re: No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04
Does the default install of Server even have the splash screen installed? I am running a plain install of Lucid Server x64. I know the desktop version has the splash screen - plymouth, isn't it? I don't recall if it's installed and enabled by default on the server install. I checked what the kernel boot options look like on a VM copy of my physical server and they are attached. Here's what the grub options look like: recordfail insmod ext23 set root='(hd0,1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ea9998bb-6052-4a29-b588-525a7693f1bf linux /boot/vmluinuz-2.6.32-24-server root=UUID=ea9998bb-6052-4a29-b588-525a7693f1bf ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-server I removed the quiet part and it still got stuck after running fsck and sat there without displaying an error message. Is there a way to force it to auto-skip devices that are not ready? -- No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 609864] Re: No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04
I see what you meant now, you need to enable the splash screen by adding splash after quiet in the boot options. With that enabled, it displayed the error message. It would be nice to not have to rely on a splash screen to display error messages when it is not turned on by default. I would much rather have it display the error on the terminal instead. -- No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I would much rather have it display the error on the terminal instead. Tell me about it. I don't have monitors attached to the servers I admin so this is a real prob for me. I can no longer admin the servers strictly from the serial console.

Hi Charles, If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. [This is an automated message.

I did notice that the problem didn't appear to happen in Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64, with any kernel, it appeared to just skip the problem device. Andreas mentioned something about Plymouth here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/576001/comments/34 Not sure how that affects not being able to display an error message without having the splash screen. -- No error message displayed when device fails to mount on Ubuntu Server 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/609864 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Having no error message like the one displayed in Ubuntu Desktop causes confusion as to what is wrong.
