I have set several folders to mount at startup into fstab. This works fine.



However, I would like to be able to bypass the mounting process in some occasions.
Typically, when I know the remote folders are not available.



Is there a mean to bypass the auto mounting process at boot time?



I thank you for your help.

  • Usually you can add the mounting option “nofail” to do exactly that. It will try to mount, but if the partition or share is not available, it will simply skip mounting it. If this is what you are looking for, I can convert this comment to an answer.

If you like to make a partition or network share optional, you can define the mount option nofail comma-separated to the other options you have defined.



What will happen is, the system will still attempt to mount the partition/share, but if it is not available or not accessible for whatever reason, it will silently fail and continue to boot the system.



The fstab entry would look something like this:



/dev/sdc2 /mnt/your_partition ext4 defaults,nofail 1 2

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
