add noauto to your fstab:

So the filesystem will not automatically mounted at startup. Furthermore you write a script which basically mounts your mhddfs and add it at some late point in the boot process.
But how do you do this? My mergerfs never mounts all of its drives at startup, presumably because they aren't mounted before it? It's the last entry in fstab, like this (but with more drives):
/mnt/EXT4_drive/drivepool:/mnt/NTFS_drive/drivepool:/mnt/anotherdrive/drivepool /mnt/drivepool fuse.mergerfs defaults,allow_other,minfreespace=100M 0 0
When I run df
after boot, the drive name only shows some of the mount points are included, and a fraction of the space it should have with all of them, so they aren't included if they aren't ready? I have to manually run sudo umount /mnt/drivepool ; sudo mount /mnt/drivepool
after boot to fix it and show all of them.
Also computer has more than once booted into "Welcome to emergency mode!" when one of the drives was being automatically fscked while it tried to mount /mnt/drivepool
. This hasn't happened lately, maybe because of a change in mergerfs that lets it ignore not-ready drives instead of halting because of them?
How would I automatically mount /mnt/drivepool
ASAP after everything else in fstab has successfully mounted and fscked?
