Additional info:
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2011-11-02 17:53:27 UTC 
The default timeout is 90 seconds, IIRC. In general, don't add nonexistent partitions to fstab...
Comment 2 Michal Schmidt 2011-11-03 08:55:48 UTC 
We cannot know if the device is truly non-existent or just slow to discover, so there has to be the timeout.
Comment 3 Kay Sievers 2011-11-03 11:24:48 UTC 
Adding 'nofail' to fstab should work around the issue.
