Synopsis: 8.0-RELEASE #0 won't boot if it can't mount smbfs entries in fstab State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: remko State-Changed-When: Sun Jul 11 08:18:11 UTC 2010 State-Changed-Why: Well this is not a situation that we can easily fix. If you as the owner / administrator of the system tell it to mount a remote file system, you have obvious reasons for it. FreeBSD will try its best to mount the disk, but since a firewall, or network or remote host can be down and we cannot tell from the mount command itself, it retries a few times, aborting mounting because the system does not want to start the system without the by your issued mountlist. The disk could be vital to the success of the startup and usage. So sadly, this is the reality and we should live with it. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=148493
