Hi there, when editing the mount point of a partition (especially external devices), it may be beneficial to provide the option "nofail" as a checkbox, besides the other options. Of course one can add this using the "More..." button, but for newbie users this might result in issues. Therefore I'd say the "nofail" option (maybe default checked) is a good idea for external devices. Best regards

Git commit e6283022319e66c581cc77e7c0a88be4dc85fb31 by Andrius Štikonas, on behalf of Thomas Bertels. Committed on 04/04/2024 at 00:06. Pushed by stikonas into branch 'master'. Add an fstab nofail mount option nofail mounts won't prevent the system from booting if not mountable. systemd will stil try to mount them in an asynchronous way, and add an error to the log if it fails. Most mount points, apart from / and /home should be mounted with nofail to prevent entering to recovery mode with a bootable system. partitionmanager doesn't remove fstab entries after removing a partition, which currently leads to recovery mode on the next boot.
