Hi again,

I have been thinking about this incident since then and watching all the 
"system doesn't boot due to fstab errors" reports (I'm subscribed to 
both -user and -pkg-systemd-maintainers).

I'm not sure it's a good idea to just fail the boot completely whenever 
there are errors like mine in fstab, but instead it would be much 
friendlier if systemd would try to bring up as much of the system as 
possible and start the emergency console only if e.g. / and /usr are 
missing.

Kind regards,
Andrei
