I have the following devices on my /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 vfat defaults 0 0 They're supposed to be for USB devices of course but when I don't have one of those plugged in, systemd just hangs up for quite a long time or just doesn't start (I'm not sure if it just doesn't start but yeah it hangs up) and then I had to go into rescue mode and comment out those devices then it boots up fine. OS: ArchLinux (Kernel 3.5.6-1) i686 $ systemd --version systemd 194 arch +PAM -LIBWRAP -AUDIT -SELINUX -IMA -SYSVINIT +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +ACL +XZ If more information is needed, please let me know.
That's the expected default behaviour. Try adding "nofail" to the options in the fstab entries.
Okay, nevermind if it's the default behavior but well, with initscripts it didn't take as much time with the hangup though. can be closed
