The thing is, the old behavior was helpful and user-friendly, and the
new one is neither. The suggestion to read the long log file is not
useful except to an expert (who probably already knows how to read it).
Please return to the previous behavior.

Title:
fstab entry causes emergency mode to come up
Status in mountall package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 and also from 14.10 to 15.04, the system goes into emergency mode when there is an entry in the /etc/fstab file for a <removable> hard drive that isn't connected. Here's the fstab file that caused it and the HITACHI entry has been commented out which fixed the problem.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdb2 during installation
UUID=b7b39e46-3fca-440b-b52e-ced5fa946ac2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot/efi was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
UUID=A0D7-CA74 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sdb3 during installation
