The reason is that mountall doesn't know how to distinguish between "this is
an optional filesystem that should be ignored if it can't be mounted" and
"this is a critical filesystem that we can't boot without".
However, you can *tell* mountall this by adding a 'nobootwait' option to the
entry in /etc/fstab.
