[SOLVED] Arch does not start if the flash drive is not connected

I added the command to the file /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1       /media/usb      auto    rw,user,auto,noexec     0       0
After that, the system does not start if the flash drive is not inserted.

Please tell me how to solve this problem?

Simply add noauto,nofail
noauto would be enough but nofail would avoid shenanigans.

...

Now, have you considered something like udiskie/udisks2?

EDIT: typo

I came here to say what you said. I think there's a typo in your answer. You mean udisks2, right? udiskie is a front-end for it. See https://pypi.org/project/udiskie/ "udiskie - Removable disk automounter using udisks."

BTW, for those of us using KDE Plasma, does udiskie do anything that Plasma doesn't already do?

Thank you very much! Everything works! Now I'll try to configure UDisks2.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
