filesystem – How do I avoid the “S to Skip” message on boot? – Ask Ubuntu

Jovan Stosic March 3, 2017

After upgrading my laptop from karmic to lucid, my fat32 partition won’t mount automatically. I get the message:

The disk drive for /osshare is not ready yet or not present
Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

Funny thing is, if I skip, then /osshare/ is mounted once I log in.

I’ve a similar setup on my desktop, and it works fine. Fstab on desktop:

UUID=4663-6853  /osshare        vfat    utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1

/etc/fstab on laptop:

UUID=1234-5678 /osshare vfat utf8,auto,rw,user 0 0
