I created packages for 13.1 and 13.2 which do not add dependency on swap and mount unit to device. zypper ar obs://home:arvidjaar:bnc:902612:13.1/standard zypper ar obs://home:arvidjaar:bnc:902612:13.2/standard It could take some time for OBS to publish them (right now only i586 is published). You can use "osc getbinaries" in the meantime. Please test if there are any issues (like mounts not present). There will be no difference for mount points without "nofail" - if device is not present before local-fs times out, system will go into emergency mode today anyway. Mount points with "nofail" will not be automounted if they were missing during boot. I do not see any issue with it - they are explicitly declared as optional. Of course it is still possible to easily restore current behavior by explicitly adding dev-xxx.conf.d snippet that adds Wants on mount unit to device. Which is exactly opposite to current situation where it is NOT possible to disable device dependency without sacrificing automount on boot. P.S. with systemd update rate I'm fine with maintaining these packages forever :)
