Hi there.
On a Debian node I have an SSD attached via Sata with a relevant entry in fstab. This all works fine.
But, if the drive//cable is removed the machine halts during the boot process. It kind find the drive, therefore it stops.
Is there a way to bypass this behaviour? If the drive isn't found bugger it and carry booting? I don't understand why the default would be to basically crash.
Many thanks.

Re: fstab entry locking machine.
Add nofail to the options for the drive.
Or use x-systemd.automount instead, see systemd.{auto,}mount(5) for more on this.

Because mounts specified in /etc/fstab are considered critical and there is a option for the behaviour you want.Munty Scruntfundle wrote: I don't understand why the default would be to basically crash.

Re: fstab entry locking machine.
Yes, that's right but I think it will also stop the boot process from failing if the drive is not connected.
I mentioned the man pages so the OP can check if the extra features offered by the option are of any use.
