Do you really need it before the login screen? Quick and dirty. Set it to noauto in fstab and put the mount command in /etc/rc.d/after.local Charles -- I did this 'cause Linux gives me a woody. It doesn't generate revenue. (Dave '-ddt->` Taylor, announcing DOOM for Linux)

I have a Leap 42.2 station and need to have a network share mounted. I tried to add a curlftpfs line to /etc/fstab, only to get emergency mode instead of GUI. After removing plymouthd that was not really at fault (but for some reason sent SIGRTMIN+21 and sometimes dumped core, so I thought it was at fault), I realized that the problem was the mount. The network is not up at the time /etc/fstab is processed.

systemd automatically detects that a mount needs a network. But "curlftps" is not on its list. So, Carlos tip "use option _netdev" is correct: http://codingberg.com/linux/systemd_when_to_use_netdev_mount_option However, if the network share is not available, this might fail. So, you should add "nofail", too.

Since you already started editing fstab, you could try systemd automount by adding(!) the following options: noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=60,nofail Then, systemd will mount your share only when needed and will automatically unmount it if you don't use it anymore. That is pretty cool for laptops being used in different locations where different shares are available. Personally, I use the old autofs/automount because it supports wildcard automounting: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/ book.opensuse.reference/cha.autofs.html#sec.autofs.advanced.wildcards Gruß Jan -- Enough research will tend to support your theory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
