[SOLVED] systemd stops booting after a hdd change

systemd 194-3

I've bought a new hdd. I've replaced my old hdd with the new hdd. The SATA port was the same. SystemD stopped booting after being unable to mount the old hdd via fstab with UUID. Solution was to remove from fstab the entry responsible for mounting the old hdd.

EDIT: This can be easily reproduced by creating a dummy entry in fstab and pointing it to /mnt/dummy. IMHO the user expects the system to boot after he removes one of its harddrives.

Could you post your /etc/fstab?

Sounds like systemd tries to mount something that doesn't exists and of course then it stops booting.

EDIT: Why is this solved?!

Oh, crap.

Didn't realize that this was the solution you searched for.
