You know what I would REALY love to see since I am always concerned about mountall giving me grief is and new option for the sixth field in fstab.

If would be great if mountall could be updated such that the sixth field in fstab is:
0 Don't check and **DON'T PAUSE**, filesystem does not need to be checked, if mount fails keep booting.
1 ROOT Filesystem
2 Other Filesystems, checked sequentially
3 Filesystem is checked/mounted in the background ideally in a "screen" session, most importantly it will NOT PAUSE the boot and the admin can check the progress with SSH and "screen".

Another route is to NOT mention any data Filesystems in the fstab at all and have them mounted with a custom script.
