This issue has bugged me many times, but I think the real bug is not the hang during boot under those circumstances, but the fact that during boot process a message is given to the user, but the user can't see it!
Here the original problem was the hang in the boot process because the disk was not found. Had the message been shown, I could have pressed "s". This specific problem might now be overcome with new options, however, if during the boot process other issues come up, I still won't see them! So, what need to be adressed is that messages to the user, where the user needs to take action, are still being shown, while the remainder of the boot can go silent. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571444 Title: Boot hangs and unable to continue when automount disk in fstab is not available (Off or Disconnected) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/571444/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
