I have a weird problem. I have an HP DL980 that had been running openSUSE 13.2. I upgraded it to openSUSE Leap 42.1 and that seemed to go OK, but when I try to boot the machine, the boot fails and I end up in emergency mode. In looking around in emergency mode, I notice that /boot and /var do not get mounted. Both partitions are there and I can run fsck on them without problems. If I have an entry in /etc/fstab for /boot, for example, that looks like this: LABEL=boot /boot ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 2 and issue the command in emergency mode "mount /boot", the system comes back with a prompt, but does NOT mount the filesystem. If I change the entry in /etc/fstab to be: /dev/sda1 /boot ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 2 the filesystem also does not mount at boot time, but when I get into emergency mode, I can manually mount the file with the command "mount -va /boot". This works for both /boot and /var. If I mount the filesystems manually and issue the command "systemctl default", the system comes up fine, but I am confused why the system does not automatically mount those filesystems.
