The reason is that mountall doesn't know how to distinguish between "this is an optional filesystem that should be ignored if it can't be mounted" and "this is a critical filesystem that we can't boot without". However, you can *tell* mountall this by adding a 'nobootwait' option to the entry in /etc/fstab. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
