Re: the fragile boot process [on encryption setups and home data]

You completely misunderstand the point of my message it seems. And then go and say that I don't understand stuff. And providing such standard (wikipedia) links is just very condescending, you know. If the halt-on-fstab-problem is Ubuntu related, then it is clear my message should have been
