After being frustrated with this bug for a while, I grabbed the mountall source... it's a lot of stuff, but one thing I found was the "nobootwait" option.
Adding "nobootwait" to all my "auto" mounts allowed my system to boot up without intervention. Although the fstab manpage is a little terse describing nobootwait, it seems like a reasonable solution. Still, it would certainly be better for everyone if Ubuntu dealt with this more automatically... -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
