Title:
  lvscan often times out during boot

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm not 100% certain that mountall is the problem, but seems a good
  place to start.

  I have some LVM partitions on my laptop, and some filesystems on there
  are mounted through fstab:

  /dev/schroots/schroots /srv/devel ext3 defaults,relatime 0 0
  /dev/schroots/isos /iso ext4 defaults,relatime 0 0

  Often (1/3 of the time?) boot hangs, and after a minute or so I get a
  message saying something about watershed and lvscan timing out.  Then
  it proceeds to mount everything readonly.

  Other times boot proceeds with no problem.
