      Hi all.

      I am using a USB drive for some days now and it works great. I followed every step as described here, https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-USB-drive/ using the Automatic Mount approach.

      And now all the games are being run from the USB stick. Awesome. But now during a fresh boot, Retropie throws this error: Failed to start usbmount@dev-sda.service. But the USB stick works because the SD card contains no roms what so ever. When ES is loaded, I see al my games.

      When I reboot the Retropie, the previous mentioned error isn't shown. Only during a fresh start this message is shown. I have done some research and bumped into this posting on GitHub, but I don't know what to make of it. https://github.com/iiab/iiab/issues/710

      Can I just ignore this message or is additional tuning required? Many thanks in advance for your help/advice.

      I have a RP 3B, with the default power adapter of RP and I am running the latest version of Retropie, 4.7.1.

        You can safely ignore it, it's harmless.
