More reliable drive mounting after host reboot

[johnha]

Hi, I'm having an issue with ensuring the physical drives on my proxmox hosts mount reliably after a reboot. Right now my /etc/fstab looks like this:

LABEL=SSD1 /mnt/SSD1 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2
LABEL=SSD2 /mnt/SSD2 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2
LABEL=SPN1 /mnt/SPN1 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2
LABEL=SPN2 /mnt/SPN2 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2
LABEL=SPN3 /mnt/SPN3 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2
LABEL=SPN4 /mnt/SPN4 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2
LABEL=SSD3 /mnt/SSD3 ext4 rw,noatime,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,errors=remount-ro 0 2

I've tinkered with the fstab settings over the years with various sources across the internet, but I don't think I've been able to get this to be 100% reliable. I've gotten my CIFS mounts to be reliable, but unfortunately can't seem to get the directly connected drives to be as well.

Would appreciate any opinions on this matter. Thank you all in advance!

uuid instead label
set timeout to 3

Thank you, @_gabriel -- I've updated to timeout 3, that seems very sensible!

I would enjoy seeing others' fstab configurations as examples if anyone would like to share thanks all
