Failed to mount a disk partition at linux system init phase (STM32MP157-disco-board)

[cwei2010]

Hi,

I am using the stm32mp157-disco board and trying to mount one of my sd card partitions to my linux VFS at boot time with systemd. I have modified the file /etc/fstab, adding the following entry:

# <file system>         <mount pt> <type>        <options>        <dump> <pass>

/dev/mmcblk0p8        /boot            ext4          defaults,nofail            0 2

but somehow systemd cannot mount the partition before the timeout. 

I've been unable to change the timeout for the disk mounting by adding x-systemd.mount-timeout under the <options> term of the entry. It seems that Openstlinux has been able to ignore the params in /etc/fstab.

However, I can mount the same disk partition with command:

mount /dev/mmcblk0p8 /boot

after the login. So I am not sure what I have missed. Can someone share me some light here? Thank you.

I figure out that it is the device (sd card) wasn't able to start up in time during the boot. So increasing the mount time with x-systemd.mount-timeout wouldn't help, instead, need to use the x-systemd.device-timeout to add more time to allow linux to discover the device in /etc/fstab.
