The halt-on-fstab-problem isn't an Ubuntu feature, it's a systemd one.

systemd generates mount units from fstab entries. These units
"require" local-fs.target or remote-fs.target and boot'll fail if they
fail.

If you add "nofail" to an fstab entry's options, the generated mount
unit "wants" local-fs.target or remote-fs.target and boot won't fail
if it fails.

PS: This is more of an ubuntu-users question; or even a Google one
given how well-known this issue is.
