My favorite was when the behavior of a USB drive in /etc/fstab went from “hmm it’s not plugged in at boot, I’ll let the user know” to “not plugged in? Abort! Abort! We can’t boot!”
This change over previous init behavior was especially fun on headless machines…

You could just use systemd mounts like a normal person. Fstab is for critical partitions
Hush everyone, don’t tell this guy about
noauto
, it’ll burst his bubbleI’ve never seen it used in the wild
Jesus, I mount everything manually from noauto, except root.
If nfs isn’t available, I don’t want my system to hang, typing mount takes 2 seconds.
