System freeze on boot with message waiting for /partition on LVM

[Michael Heča]

Binary package hint: mountall

System sometimes freeze on boot. Its fresh install with added
/dev/mapper/data-data1 /data reiserfs defaults 0 4
to fstab.

/home is link to /data/home

Hang was first observed on mountall 2.9.
I append bootlog with mountall from ppa:scott/ppa

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

How did you generate this boot.log? It shows /data being mounted normally and the boot continuing without interruption.

[Michael Heča (orgoj)]

This is copy of /var/log/boot.log taken from maintenance shell after
pressing S key on wait message.
