booting: fsck stays busy -> maintenance but everything is fine?

Hey,

I'm new to Arch Linux. Did my installation a week ago, almost everything runs fine, except:

When Arch Linux boots and runs fsck it returns that all my partitions are clean (running dmraid btw) but its status stays "busy" which automatically switch you to Strg+D or root password for maintenance.
Strg+D works fine and Linux will resume booting, but it is annoying, because there were no booting without that stupid confirmation, though everything is fine.

Found this thread (over a year ago) but my fstab has no usb stick or something else. I tried to comment out everything but arch's partition. Did not help.

Before Arch Linux I used first Ubuntu then Kubuntu, they failed everywhere else but not at booting ;)

How can I solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum posativ!

Can you show your /etc/fstab and the output of blkid command?

Hi djszapi,

thanks for you reply. My fstab looks like this:
Disabling everything but 'arch', 'home' and swap change nothing.

/etc/fstab
