   With systemd, it's easy to fix. Let it know which drives are optional at boot   
   by adding the option "nofail" to the fstab entries for those drives.   
      
   I think it's better to drop to a rescue shell at boot if something critical is   
   not available rather then having it not mount and possibly having things   
   written   
   to the underlying file system.
