New installation and systemd-fsck slow

Good evening to everyone!

Last night, because of a hard disk failure, I had to reinstall Arch, using a brand new hdd.
Once the installation was completed, I noticed that the boot process was very slow, taking up to one minute to complete.
This was because the logical drive where the /home folder was mounted is huge.
Well, I tried to edit my fstab but I couldn't understand where the error is so far...
That's the thing we're talking about:

root@mody ~]# cat /etc/fstab 
# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# /dev/sda1
UUID=fa474122-87e7-4390-bc16-6300e9428f07       none          swap             defaults        0 0

# /dev/sda2
UUID=706d7fb9-f2b3-4ef8-9d29-e75f1ad01c75       /             ext4             rw,relatime,data=ordered        0 1

# /dev/sda5
UUID=876e7256-e1b7-44f5-8a0e-da845b106829   /home  reiserfs   rw,relatime,user_xattr,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 2

How can I edit the line regarding /dev/sda5 to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance,

Burroughs.

What error?
Was this happening with a similarly huge drive formatted as reiserfs before?
Does this happen on every boot? You can disable fsck or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fs … _frequency

No, Karol, it's quite normal fsck takes one minute to check a single partition up, this because we're talking about a very large one.
What I was trying to say is that the option noauto,x-systemd.automount added to fstab should reduce dramatically the amount of time required to analyze the volume, that's why I was talking about an error in the corresponding line in fstab.
