Public bug reported:
Its a strange problem that I have seen come and go.
So the problem: Whenever a USB drive or eSATA drive is connected to the
computer, the boot process takes extra long and sometimes fails (I mean
fail as in doesn't seem to go anywhere). I have verified that fsck is
not coincidentally taking place that's causing this delay
The solution is to plug the offending devices out or plug them in after
boot. Which seems a bit unfortunate.
The behaviour is also not consistent so it is hard to point a finger.
Also my /etc/fstab is defined in terms of uuid so I am not sure what
else could be the problem. Grub?
