Subject:   fstab option to 'skip' a file system?
Message-ID:  <20050612001409.C90456@ganymede.hub.org>

Is there an option that I can add to fstab (or some way of doing it?) 
that, when a server reboots, it will 'ignore' that file system, but I can 
still do a 'mount /fs' after the fact?

I have remote servers that I'd like to manually fsck one of the file 
systems after it comes up, but I don't have a serial console enabled on 
them (yet!) ... so, i'd like it to ignore that one file system on reboot, 
but still have it listed in /etc/fstab ...

Setting 'passno' to 0, I believe, will cause it to fail to boot due to an 
unclean file system, so that doesn't appear to be an option ...

Is that possible?

Thanks ...
