Further to above:

There is still a race condition in mountall, proabably due to teh
integration with plymouth boot screen.

Add/change events from udev are being dropped.

When I get the error, I press 'M', and sulogin.  The links are there in
/dev/<volume_group>, so I believe that udev is getting its job done, and
letting mountall know about it.

two things should be done:

1) add code to try 2 mount attempts before giving up on a file system in 
/etc/fsta on boot.
2) Find the race and fix it.

1) is the belt and braces - not mounting file systems on boot is a
SERIOUS problem.

Condition can be debugged when a machines running by creating a volume
group with about 10 logical volumes, deactivating it with 'vgchange -a n
/dev/<volume_group>, and then activating it.  mountall would have to be
running in a separate window, not issuing events to upstart init.
