Bug Description

Binary package hint: util-linux

When I add bootwait option for my data partition (which is different from my /home partition), the boot process fails and I have to boot on a rescue CD to edit fstab and remove bootwait to be able to boot again.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

This bug is perhaps a duplicate of bug 479965 (if so I don't understand importance "low"), but certainly not of bug 449665...
