I've run into the

fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=d073d821-427e-4aea-bd1f-53fcad4e0e81'

error and halting on boot, and found this bug report. I have a hotswap bay and sometimes drives are not in the bay during boot. I wanted boot to continue without checking these absent drives. The solution, as described in the fsck man page was to make sure that there was 0 in the 6th field of fstab, rather than non-zero. (The 6th field specified the order for boot-time filesystem check, with 0 being skip.) I'm not sure if this helps out with any of the situations described here, but basically what I did was change

UUID=7855008b-966e-4e4f-85ca-21f84ff13a03 /media/nearline ext3 noauto,rw,suid,dev,exec,nouser,async 0 1

to

UUID=7855008b-966e-4e4f-85ca-21f84ff13a03 /media/nearline ext3 noauto,rw,suid,dev,exec,nouser,async 0 0
