Public bug reported:
We suspect a bug in Ubuntu 12.04 where boot process is hanged because
‘mountall’ fails due to an HDD failure.
The issue can be easily reproduced through either of the following scenario
on Ubuntu 12.04
1. Mount a non-existing disk device node.
2. Disk/partition error. You can simulate such error by corrupting a working
partition using DD command.
In either case, you will see system stuck at mount procedure and never reach
the login prompt.
I have tried some option like “timeout=30”, “optional”, update mountall to
v2.46. But none of them is working.
Thanks
