Bug#797039: systemd: Jessie won't boot if a filesystem in /etc/fstab is missing

First, thanks for your quick answer !

>I suppose this was the wrong entry? "Data" is not a valid device name.
It is in a Virtualbox context. Once booted, "mount -a" mounts this
partition to /mnt/Data, without any poblem.
But it fails at boot, so I need to comment it, then modify /etc/fstab, then
'mount -a'.

>So mark it as "defaults,nofail" to tell that this isn't a critical
partition.
Thanks for the hint. I have tested that, and it works, the virtual machine
is able to boot now.

But when doing a "mount -a" right after the boot, I get that :
root at blah:/home/folco# mount -a
unknown mount option `nofail'
valid options: [...]

So I still have to modify ym fstab in order to use my partition.
Why can't it be mounted while booting ?
