How do I mount from fstab without interruption if the drive isn't available?

  • 772

I would like to have a drive mounted during boot, but only if it's available. I have an entry for it now in fstab, but if it's not available boot halts. Is there a way to have to format the fstab line so that the drive mounts if available and ignores it if it isn't?

boot fstab mount drive

  1. Add the nofail-option to your fstab-line. Example:

    /dev/disk/by-label/archiv  /media/archiv  ext4   rw,noexec,nofail   0   0
