Could fstab default mount options be changed so that, unless otherwise
specified, failed mount attempts would skip that filesystem and keep
booting (logging an error), instead of dropping to an inaccessible
recovery console? This would let the fstab be fixed with minimal hassle
in a headless enviro
This is a serious issue when there is no physical access to the machine.
I can confirm this issue on 16.04 happen after adding a new harddrive to
the fstab and subsequently reformatting the drive. At reboot, I have to

In the absence of a fix, would some be gracious enough to let me know of
a workaround? I just rebooted a remote server (14.04) and am staring at
"ssh... Connection Refused". I suspect it has to do with fstab since I
just edited it to mount a USB drive. I can provide more details (if
needed) once I
I've tested this with kernel 4.10-rc3 in a local VirtualBox VM (Ubuntu
Server 16.04), with the same fstab error as above, and am able to
confirm most of the symptoms described by the reporter.
When attempting to 'mount -a', it presents the expected "wrong
filesystem type" error, but doesn't render
(New kernel is still compiling...)
I just did a test with a fully-patched, newly spun-up Ubuntu Server
14.04 AWS instance, and the behavior seems to be present with kernel
3.13.0-107. I can't verify all of the symptoms described by the
reporter, because I don't have physical access; but I get "co
Thanks for your attention on this bug, Joseph. I'm compiling the new
kernel, now, and will let you know as soon as I have a test result.
As far as I know, all 16.04 kernel versions exhibit this problem; but I
haven't done any testing on Ubuntu 15.X.

You received this bug notification because
This v4.10-rc3 kernel is now available. Can you give that version a test:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10-rc3
Also, was there a prior kernel version that did not exhibit this bug? If so,
we can perform a kernel bisect to find the offending commit.

I work for a major educational system that utilizes Ubuntu Server
(14.04, 16.04 LTS) instances on the Amazon Web Services cloud for
critical infrastructure. This bug has come up a few times, where an
admin has a typo or other error in /etc/fstab, pertaining to a non-OS
filesystem (like an EFS data
I can confirm this affects all Ubuntu >= 15.04 installations, including
Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS).

That's absolutely the case. Your intuition has not led you astray.

Failure to boot if fstab
Latest kernel (4.10-040100rc2-generic):
Reaches "Ubuntu 15.04" splash screen (with the four dots) which the previous
kernel didn't, but still fails to boot, eventually dropping me into emergency
mode shell as before.

Forgot to add: Having fixed fstab, rebooting gets me a grub menu (no
timeout so have to select boot option manually), and boots fine from
there.

Performed latest set of updates and retested. Couldn't run apport-

graphical book in order to authenticate via Firefox, so ran after fixing
fstab and rebooting. I don't know if the logs are therefore useful?

I found this on my main 15.04 desktop but have reproduced it in a VM:
1. Install Ubuntu 15.04 (I included updates and non-free but I doubt that
matters).
2. Add a bogus entry to /etc/fstab, eg:
/dev/sdd1
Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior
kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.1 kernel
As requested, I have now set package to "linux" (ie kernel) due to the
point in the boot sequence at which the issue occurs. I'm far from
qualified to speculate but I am reasonably sure that this is not a
kernel issue but a boot script dependency issue, which was why I didn't
specify a package init
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a
specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu
in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source
