Not available devices and (1 of 2) A start job is running for...

Hello,

due to a harddisk crash I now needed to reinstall my system. I used most of the original configuration files I've backed up so far, but the new installation does not seem to behave as the old one.

The problem: My /etc/fstab look like this:

/dev/mapper/lvm-vgroot      /               ext4           rw,relatime,data=ordered,discard 0 1
/dev/mapper/lvm-vghome      /home           ext4           rw,relatime,data=ordered,discard 0 2
/dev/sda1 /boot           ext2           rw,relatime,discard                      0 2

# Storage
/dev/mapper/storage     /mnt/storage    ext4            defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2

# Backup
/dev/mapper/backup      /mnt/backup     ext3            defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2

The devices /dev/mapper/backup and /dev/mapper/storage are LUKS-encrypted, removable devices, which means, I have them only connected when required. systemd now stops for 1min 30secs to try to setup these devices, althought they are configured with the "nofail" option.

My previous installation, which also was an up-to-date Arch Linux, didn't care of this without any delay.
So is there a possibilty to tell systemd to ignore if these two devides are not available?

Best regards
