This bug bit me also. I had a line in /etc/fstab for an iscsi volume that was not available at boot time, and the system just hangs during boot.
Workaround was to put the noauto option on the volume in /etc/fstab. But I think this is a serious bug. I suspect most Ubuntu users would be very frustrated and confused by this behavior, and not know what to do -- only power users would be able to figure out that it is related to mounting an unavailable volume. When searching the bugs, I found a lot of people posting about this bug in unrelated bug reports, since they did not know the cause of the problem. The importance should be "high", not "medium". -- Boot hangs and unable to continue when automount disk in fstab is not available (Off or Disconnected) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571444 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
