No need for all that!

All my mounts are local PATA and SATA drives. The SATA 
drives are on an adapter card. All the file systems are xfs, 
ext2, ext4 or swap and use either /dir/dir, LABEL= or UUID=.
All very vanilla. No LVM, encrypted, NFS, RAID, etc. Doesn't 
make any difference as *all* of the mounts are failing on 
the first pass!

I found a work around on a forum. Put "nofail" in the 
options field of fstab. So now my entries contain 
"defaults,nofail" or "sw,pri=100,nofail" in the options field.

Doesn't make any difference though. All the
    Dependency failed for ...
     Timeout waiting for ...
messages still occur, they just don't stop the boot process 
and the mounts get done successfully later on.(??)

I can't tell what might have caused this as I don't re-boot 
after every update, just when an update to the kernel 
occurs. I think it was about the time that systemd was 
implemented as the boot screen looked different when the 
mount failures started happening.

Just an update in case someone else runs into the problem. 
In fact I am surprised that no once else has. Must be 
something different about my system that I don't know about 
and that isn't obvious! (Something from SysV that is 
incompatible with systemd?)

Dennis
