Description Keruskerfuerst 2015-11-18 17:12:19 UTC 
I have a working linux system: kernel 4.1.12.
If I mistype relatime to reatime or something else, the system does not boot properly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.change fstab options. add options like relatime or noatime
2.mistype them to realtime or different
3.system does not boot properly
Actual Results:  
system does not boot to gui.

Expected Results:  
Wrong fstab options should be suppressed.
System boots to fine. (to runlevel 3 or 5)

The valid options are long (many dozens if not hundreds) and are listed in `man mount` or `man mount.<fstype>`
Listing them in the file would be huge.

If you don't care about failed mounts, you use the nofail mount option.

Sounds like mount is operating as expected here.
