Boot Error

[Bishop27]

Good Morning All,
I wanted to ask a question about mount drives at boot. I have a usb-c enclosure that I have mounted in the fstab: UUID=658682c9-6b76-44db-a31f-710b699b7503 /mnt/VM-STORAGE ext4 defaults 0 2, if this enclosure is not seen at the boot process should it stop from booting to the GUI? Also is there a way to boot to the GUI if the system fails to see the enclosure at boot in the future. Thanks in advance.

To prevent boot problems when a device defined in fstab is not available, you can use the following options in the fstab configuration to ensure the system can still boot properly (man fstab):

1. nofail: This option allows the boot process to continue even if the device is not available.
   UUID=your-uuid /mnt/mountpoint ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2
2. x-systemd.device-timeout: This option sets a timeout for how long the system should wait for the device. If the device is not available within the specified time, it proceeds with the boot process.
   UUID=your-uuid /mnt/mountpoint ext4 defaults,x-systemd.device-timeout=10s 0 2
3. noauto: This option prevents the device from being automatically mounted at boot time. You can mount it manually after booting.
   UUID=your-uuid /mnt/mountpoint ext4 defaults,noauto 0 2
