Hi, I am looking at correct way to disable the "feature" of emergency mode when systemd encounters missing block device entires in fstab.
For example: the following entry is in /etc/fstab: UUID=d4a23034-8cbe-44b3-92a5-3d38e1816eff /data xfs defaults 0 0 If the drive (d4a23034-8cbe-44b3-92a5-3d38e1816eff) has been detached and machine rebooted it stops booting with Emergency mode, even though the /data is not crucial for boot. In past (eg. with upstart) it would simply generate a warning and continue to boot. The emergency mode assumes console access, which requires physical access, which is quiet difficult if the machine is remote. I believe the boot should be best effort, give warning and continue to boot, giving at least partial working system. Actually further thinking about it, this behaviour is bad even for desktop scenario. The correct behaviour should be following: drop in emergency mode only when crucial to boot files are not available otherwise warn about missing drives and continue to boot. Regards. Sergei.
