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.
My apologies. I had assumed you added it yourself - I wasn't aware YaST does this when you check the 'mount it' option. So not your fault.
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.
Yep, agree on that. But the solution is to fix YaST - the drop to maintainance mode on mount failure is definitely needed for many other cases.
If there are many cases where this is necessary, then I agree with that. But the same issue happens, if you have two Linux systems - say openSuSe + Ubuntu - on your hard disk and remove a partition in Ubuntu, then openSuSE doesn't know anything about it and it will go into maintenance mode while booting. In this case, I see the only possibility is to make the boot message about the missing partition more understandable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
