In my case, I am affected by this with a separate /home and /tmp partition. I would think you could assume that things like /home /usr and /tmp... maybe even /opt ought to hang the boot process. I grant you, if you have /big-movies or something maybe that would be ok.
But certainly at least gdm/kdm (kdm in my case) ought to do something graceful when /home is empty instead of trying to start up on / which is not a good idea. -- "bootwait" in fstab causes mount problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479965 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
