Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: upstart
I am running Ubuntu 9.10 up-to-date as of 2009-10-08 (upstart 0.6.3-7). I boot
from a 32 GB SSD partitioned into /, swap and /home. I have a second 1TB drive
mounted at /media/data, for which the fstab line is:
UUID=2c2e8aba-4944-4c83-a4e5-a521fb749688 /media/data ext3
relatime,user_xattr 0 2
When this line is commented out, the system boots fine, and I can then
uncomment it and "mount /media/data" works correctly. But when that line
is present in fstab, the system usually, but not always (~50-75% of the
time) fails to boot. After GRUB, it briefly shows a blinking cursor,
then there is a little hard drive activity and some fsck text is shown
briefly before being replaced by the blinking cursor (no disc activity),
and at this point the system appears to hang. But ctrl-alt-del causes it
to reboot after a few seconds.
I don't really have any idea what's going wrong so please suggest how I
could gather some more useful information!
(BTW boot is fantastically quick when it does work!)
