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. You can find it here, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614662 Gérald -- No error message

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.)

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

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

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

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

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. Gérald -- No error message displayed when device

Having no error message like the one displayed in Ubuntu Desktop causes confusion as to what is wrong. See attached screenshots for what happens if the OS is unable to mount a device listed in fstab on boot. ** Attachment added: OS is hung when booting after a device listed in fstab is not
