My point is: maybe the maintainers could help to avoid this situation: Please, don't break the boot process if some malfunctioning but unimportant entry in fstab doesn't work! Or at least, make it easier for the user to find out what is going wrong. I had similar issues multiple times over the past years and sometimes it took me quite a time to figure them out.
Stuff that is listed in /etc/fstab and is not explicitely marked as being non-crucial is *supposed* to block the boot process. If you put something in there, it's your responsibility to set proper parameters.....
Well, I wasn't aware changing fstab, I just formatted the drive in YAST and I am learning just now that I could mark an entry as non-crucial. Moreover, looking at my own system, all partitions other than "/" or "/home" would be non-crucial. Imho - assuming they want to get more users for openSuSE or Linux in general - getting into maintenance mode might scare them away, so changing the defaults in YAST etc might help making the system more beginner-friendly. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
