[PROBLEM] /boot is not mounted automatically

[jakenl]

the update process, whether using the GUI or the commandline didn't proceed, because of an error in line 11 of /etc/fstab

Code:

#
# Configured /etc/fstab for XBian system
#
none                  /run/user               tmpfs   noauto                                        0        0
none                  /run/shm                tmpfs   noauto                                        0        0
none                  /run/lock               tmpfs   noauto                                        0        0
/dev/root             /xbmc-backup            xbian   subvol=data/@,noatime,rw                      0        0
/dev/root             /home                   xbian   subvol=home/@,noatime,nobootwait,rw           0        0
/dev/root             /lib/modules            xbian   subvol=modules/@,noatime,nobootwait,rw        0        0
/dev/root             /                       xbian   noatime,nobootwait,rw                         0        0
UUID=4D28-F2B5        /boot                   xbian   xbian noatime,rw,private                      0        1

Secondly the update complained that the /boot partition is not available. This is a 'nice' match with the first complaint, since line 11 is about the /boot.
The etc/fstab is identical as before, except that line 11 was at first somewhere in the middle. I don't think that makes a difference.

When I issued the mount command manually, it mounted without issue and I was able to do the sudo apt-get upgrade

Code:

sudo mount UUID=4D28-F2B5 /boot

After a reboot, I can do a cd /boot, but find the folder empty, so it is not mounted again. How can this be? The UUID is correct, I checked that, plus the manual mount operation, using this UUID works as well.

Second, minor, issue is that, while reviewing the kodi.log, I find error lines for every single folder of one of my USB sticks with data that it can't be found:

Code:

2019-08-09 22:35:35.380 T:1587061472 WARNING: Process directory '/media/64GB_ULTRAF/Audio/' does not exist - skipping scan.

When the Kodi GUI is just loaded after the splash screen, I always see this usb-stick mount it's folders. all the data on it, all my audio, works just fine.

In a trial to overcome both problems, I added 'boot_delay=5' to my cmdline.txt to give some time for both USB-sticks to get to life. Unfortunately this doesn't help.
