Description Carlos Robinson 2011-02-23 00:24:22 UTC 
During boot I see this message:

  Activating device mapper...
  Waiting for /other/home/_var_fctry_pckgs/packages ..... [].. timeout!

and the boot process stops there, waiting, till it says "timeout" after
a minute or so. It is a nuisance. This is related to this line in fstab:

/other/home/_var_fctry_pckgs/packages   /var/cache/zypp/packages   none    bind    0 0


The filesystem is mounted alright.


I have a video of the boot sequence, the event is not logged.

Comment 6 Carlos Robinson 2011-02-23 13:07:12 UTC 
I think it is the fsck phase. The bind partition is not present, because it belongs to /home, which is mounted a bit later. The fsck is ignoring the "0" in the fstab, do not check.

... this does look like device mapper tries to mount this bind before
boot.localfs has done its work, that is that /other/home is not ready
before boot.localfs but boot.localfs depends on boot.device-mapper
