2010-05-23 14:09:01 Jakob Unterwurzacher description I have attached an external drive to mount on boot up of 10.04 server (Lucid). It's label is "WAD" and is located and mounted via the following fstab entry: LABEL=WAD /mnt/WAD auto relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 2 It's pretty generic and usually mounts either a ext3 or ext4 file system. However, If this drive is detached or powered down for some reason - Then the entire boot process hangs! There is no way to continue. You can switch terminals, But can not drop to any command line or even login. So you can't easily fix the problem either. ctrl-alt-del will initiate a shutdown/restart. Also booting into recovery mode exhibits the same problem. The only way I could recover this server (As I had no live cd available) was to hit alt-sysreq-i (Kill all tasks) The process's it killed are as follow: (This may give a hint to where it is hanging!?) udev portmap statd mountall plymouth Then it stated: General error mounting filesystems. And droped into a terminal (Thank God), So I could fix fstab (remove the external drive entry). I feel this is a pretty serious issue. It almost forced me to reinstall the server. (Only chance made me press Alt-SysRq-ScrollLock to give me Magic Key Help) On 10.04 Lucid server installations, if a filesystem that is specified in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted for some reason (USB disk not connected, partition deleted etc.) the boot process hangs displaying "mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: ..." Screenshot: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48612932/Screenshot%20mountall%20hang.png The user is not informed what to do at this point. == WORKAROUND == Press "s" to skip the missing filesystem and continue booting. == ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION == I have attached an external drive to mount on boot up of 10.04 server (Lucid).
