Hi is this a kernel limitation or could systemd act better by *not* mount /boot unconditional becasue of the inherited /boot/efi?
[root@firewall:~]$ cat /etc/fstab UUID=48ffb5f1-9ee0-4637-85ab-089e3c91c578 /boot ext4 defaults,noauto,nofail,x-systemd.automount,discard 0 1 UUID=8C0B-91C5 /boot/efi vfat defaults,noauto,nofail,x-systemd.automount,discard 0 1 UUID=9b4bf81a-5b1e-4922-b0d1-e6b65e9b61f9 / ext4 defaults,discard 0 1 --------------------------- that's early boot and defeats the idea delay as much as possible after network / firewall rules to keep the downtime at kernel updates as small as possible Jul 28 01:55:49 firewall.esx.vmware.local kernel: EXT4-fs (sdb1): re-mounted.
