Slow mounting of local file systems - ThinkPad X220i

Hi,

I've noticed a strange problem when I boot Arch on my x220. Sometimes it waits (over 20-30 seconds) on "Waiting of UDev events" and gives a *FAIL* result but continues to boot and everything works fine as I can notice. On the other hand, sometimes it boots without a problem.

I noticed that it waits while mounting the local (root and home) partitions, but it doesn't put out any error. I am using UEFI + GPT, 4 partitions - boot, root, home and swap. Here is the output of gdisk -l /dev/sda :

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sda: 625142448 sectors, 298.1 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 9E65CEF2-83D2-4369-A442-D001C9550135
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 625142414
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048          432127   210.0 MiB   EF00  EFI System
   2          432128        21403647   10.0 GiB    8200  Linux swap
   3        21403648        84318207   30.0 GiB    8300  Linux filesystem
   4        84318208       625142414   257.9 GiB   8300  Linux filesystem

Here is a link to my messages.log, the interesting part is at the end, between 7 and 35 sec. of boot : http://vmetni.com/46c2321380f2ff3166bb101f3a538743

Any idea on what might be happening ?
