I've always mounted the opensuse iso images through /etc/fstab (locally networked machines then use these via vsftpd too) like:- /mirrors/torrentable/openSUSE-12.1-DVD-x86_64.iso /mirrors/opensuse-121 iso9660 loop,uid=danielm,gid=users,ro 0 2 This however stops the system booting, reporting Dependency failed. Aborted start of File System Check on /mirrors/tor... Dependency failed. Aborted start of /mirrors/opensuse-121 Welcome to emergency mode. use "systemctl default" or ^D to activate default mode. I guess that there is a race condition with the underlying mount point still being checked as systemd tries to do things in parallel. It works well post boot, but I have to comment the lines out in /etc/fstab to avoid needing console input. It seems (for the other bug too) that rather than "grumble and carry on" the system bails for operator input if a mount fails, which is not helpful if the machine's power is interrupted (this used to happen a lot, due to a flaky photostat machine from the 80's in another office tripping the circuit breakers!). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add a loopback mount to /etc/fstab using / as the mountpoint 2. reboot 3. Actual Results: I'm "Welcomed" to emergency mode Expected Results: mount deferred for a few seconds and retried, or a big moan dropped into the boot log and the file system left unmounted. This used to work from SuSE Linux 8.something through to 11.3. Also happens with 32 bit install on the laptop, and for a hibernated M$ partition. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
