@fastfinge@interfree.ca@cappy @madomado I'm aware of nofail. It skips discs that can't be seen by the system because they no longer exist or because of hardware failure. However, based on the experience I had yesterday, nofail will not skip the disc if it encounters a corrupted filesystem while mounting. And I would completely agree that systemd is unnecessary and bloated; what happened to the Unix philosophy of do one thing and do it well, while having well-documented interfaces and thus being completely replaceable? Systemd does everything, and does it all badly, while also being effectively impossible to replace portions of it, or make changes to parts of their one true design that you disagree with...like, for example, forcing it to boot even on dependency errors. My spicy hot take is that it would be impossible to create a fully accessible boot process while we have systemd, because it's neither modular 'nor easily customized, and the one true systemd way of doing things doesn't take accessibility into account.
