sounds like an installer bug, it should add "removable" device as "defaults" but as "noauto".
maybe
try changing fstab from
will try & report later. BUT: please consider this as an *example* for problematic/broken fstab entries which will cause *severe* trouble when using systemd -- and there will be *many* similar cases (remember the /var/nscd tmpfs, others will follow...) IMHO systemd should either - not (more or less completely) "block" the system startup, or - at least give much better diagnosis output what went wrong and maybe give some hints how to "fix" the system startup. right now there is no message "mounting /home failed", "check fstab entry for /c" or similar which gives the user a chance to understand and fix the problem... funnily systemd now starts up my notebook with /home/ missing (not consistent with the behavior in this case -- but IMHO a better fallback as the "emerceny mode" loop)... -- 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.

The real cause should be fixed (ie removable device shouldn't be added as "auto" or should use automount). regarding "hinting", it should be reported upstream (bugzilla.freedesktop.org). -- 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.

IMHO yast should simply no longer add any /windows mount points at all anymore. The file managers allow to mount any partition via udisks just fine anyways. -- 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.

Is it sure that the line
/dev/sdb1 /c vfat defaults 0 0
Was added by yast2-storage?
yes and no. *that* specifc line does not come from installation, I added it again to my notebok from what I've seen on earlier server installations (as the original mount point always was /windows/C). in the mean time I've changed my installation/boot method for that server, so *now* that fstab entry does not show up anymore. but there have I've sent y2logs for earlier reports from the time where this was of my "minor" problems at that time -- maybe this can help ?! bug #723777 attachment (id=456144) -- 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.

This way it should be prevented that some non-essential filesystem on removable media or network prevents the system from booting. -- 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.
