            Bug ID: 82733
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Duplicate target entry in /etc/fstab renders system
                    unbootable
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: critical
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: ian at ihgreenman.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: general
           Product: systemd

After updating my Debian system to systemd, I discovered that it was unable to
boot (going into emergency mode instead) due to two entries in my fstab being
directed to mount at the same location.

This is deliberate. This is intended. The two lines in my fstab are for two
separate 3 TB USB3.0 drives which I use for backing up the system. One of those
drives lives in my house, and the other lives in my safety deposit box, and
they get swapped monthly. The two drives will never be connected to my system
at the same time.

Prior to this, automount would complain about not being able to find one or the
other. This is expected.

This is severely broken behavior.
