dealing with the symptom -- fail on boot -- is one issue; addressing the cause -- setting up your mounts correctly -- is another. the UI has a hard time being 'simple' for all use-cases; modifying direct config files can be useful. read-up on 'nofail' usage for systemd-managed mounts specified in fstab at, https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.mount.html if you've not DISabled systemd's fstab use, systemd-fstab-generator converts fstab mount data to mount units. you can specify nofail/noauto/systemd.automount/etc options for a specific usb key in /etc/fstab a more generic approach, that matches any usb key can be implemented with systemd + udev rules. here's a good example https://www.andreafortuna.org/2019/06/26/automount-usb-devices-on-linux-usin... that^ can be modified to match on any particular mount device pattern. there _are_ more global options with manipulating systemd units -- setting DefaultDependencies=no, options overrides for specific targets ( e.g. local-fs.target ) -- but, proceed with caution on any global changes without really thinking thru want your intentions/actions are. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
