[Bug 610869] Re: mountall ignores nofail mount option

[Brian Murray]

Thanks for taking the time to submit a patch!  I was able to get the
patch applied to the Precise (what will be 12.04) version of mountall.
However, the behavior is not what I had expected nor what I think you
intended.  Instead of seeing a message regarding the skipping of the
filesystem marked nofail I saw the 'disk drive is not ready or present'
error and had the skip or manual prompt.  That quickly went by and then
the system booted.

I think instead the message you intended should be displayed and then
the system should continue booting.  I'd be happy to review any more
patches and help get them uploaded.  Thanks again.
