<pre>The short: an fstab entry specifing "0s", note the 's' suffix makes the systemd
startup wait indefinitely, and I was unable to get to rescue/maintenane mode
without booting through a USB stick and manually mounting/editing fstab.
systemd: 217 (systemctl -version)
kernel: 3.17.2-300.fc21.x86_64
fstab entry:
/dev/fedora/storage1 /mnt/storage ext4 defaults,x-systemd.device-timeout=0s 1
2
What's wrong with that?
- systemd.mount(5) suggests '0s' is acceptable.
- it's also unclear if 0 means unbounded delay or no delay allowed.
- it bricks the system, rescue prompt is unreachable, requires boot from usb
stick to fix.
extra info:
The startup sequence spits out a spurious "You're in maintenance mode..."
dracut prompt I couldn't interact with, but the systemd process continues for a
few steps until it hangs shortly after with:
"A start job is running for dev-mapper-storage1... (time / ETA)"</pre>
