That message is for an nfs network device while the same message at

it saying that they are not a device when they were successfully

safeguard against the device not "talking" causing, as it has done in
the past, other mounts to not be done.
The message is a bit arbitrary, but checking a network file system from
the remote is not intended IIRC, so disable the file system check
option in fstab. Do the checks on the remote system.
Although the message is not as clear as it might be, it's still a big
no-no to try to run fsck on *any* mounted filesystem, local or remote.
Given that remote implies mounted, that's enough reason for the error.
From what I've been able to determine the remote system doesn't appear
to provide checking functionality, so adding checking options on to the
device entries in fstab was the only way I could see to prevent the
device being unavailable from terminating the fstab process at the mount
of that device as has happened numerous times in the past. I should not
have to put the mount of the device at the end of fstab for mounts that
are specified after it in fstab to be actioned.
Just on the checking topic, what is the difference between checking a
device on your machine and a network device that is semi-local, ie:
attached to my local router. As far as I am concerned they are both the
same.
