Instead of hacking /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, it's more elegant and robust to add the delay as a rootdelay boot parameter. E.g. edit /etc/default/grub as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet rootdelay=10 and run 'sudo update-grub'. -- You received this bug notification because you

If I understand Scott's reply, the problem is that we all expect a synchronous response from an asynchronous device. What about writing a small daemon that is automatically activated at boot (init.d), and waits until the device is available in order to mount it? Feeding the daemon with the mount

I'm seeing this bug on 3 totally different machines, all booting off usb drives, all without CD drives. luckily, all the usb drives are just /boot, and i can bring them up manually with mount -a when i need to do /boot update/upgrades i'm with Marcelo, it would be nice to have an options file

I use an external USB drive as /home and it seems to have worked great until about when this bug was originally reported. Something changed/regressed that caused some USB devices to be enumerated after the partitions in /etc/fstab are mounted. I can completely corroborate the experience mikeabout

Hi, is there any way to get rid of this problem easier? Maybe allowing some init_delay=10 parameter in the options field, inside /etc/fstab for that usb device entry, and make update-initramfs to search for it when updating... (it's not a beautiful idea, right, but maybe it's cleaner than the

This is a fundamental issue with our boot sequence, and has always been. The problem is that the USB bus is inherently asynchronous. After we load the USB host driver, devices will begin appearing throughout the rest of the boot sequence. I guess your device is taking longer to appear than

This was plaguing me too until I found the above post. For me, the steps to reproduce are: 1) Enter the drive to be mounted in /etc/fstab -- something like: UUID=XXX /mnt/backup ext3 defaults,relatime 0 0 2) sudo mount -a -- which would succeed 3) sudo reboot 4)

I have been searching Ubuntu Forums and found http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1021719.html It is the same issue. It is interesting that the problem only manifests itself if there is no CD-ROM drive installed. This is the case with the server machine I am using. The last post in
