Odd contingent boot problem

Standard install, everything works smoothly, but adding additional drives to the machine or changing the uefi setup will prompt a start job (specifically on the home partition) and arch will only boot in emergency mode. Reverting any changes will allow a normal boot. Everything else runs fine, no failures. Reading logs and googling/wiki-ing have led to little insight. Not a super big deal for my setup, but I don't want trip over this in the future.

Re: Odd contingent boot problem

Please actually post logs of what is happening. Infering from the descriptions. you are probably running into disk renaming/udev races with regards to which device get's which nodes, which is random and shouldn't be relied upon in any booting level capacity.
