Comment 13 for bug 2049271

Hello Adam and thanks for the patch! I was also worried by possible side effects, however I checked what fstab(5) says about nofail, and that's:

  do not report errors for this device if it does not exist.

which seems safe. Moreover the flag would be inherited only if already present in the "parent" fstab entry.

Would to like to submit your patch as a merge request to the cloud-initramfs-tools repository [1]? Authorship will show in the package changelog.
