Operating Systems Linux Question Regarding mounting a drive and running a software Post 302895779 by Corona688 on Wednesday 2nd of April 2014 11:21:22 AM

Disk mounting is given priority unless a partition in /etc/fstab is specifically marked as something to not mount, via the 'noauto' option. If a partition can't mount, that's considered a sufficient reason to stop the boot process.

It is, however, perfectly fine -- even reccomended -- to check that key files are in the correct places inside an init script. It doesn't need to be elaborate.
Code:
if [ ! -f /path/to/configfile ]
then
        echo "configfile missing" >&2
        exit 1
fi

NAME

       systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting
       it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate
       the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount
       point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed.

       systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1].
