Bug description:
Binary package hint: mountall
I am running the system off LVM:
/dev/mapper/vg00-root on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/mapper/vg00-var on /var type ext3 (rw,relatime)
/dev/mapper/vg00-usr on /usr type ext2 (ro,relatime)
/dev/mapper/vg00-home on /home type ext3 (rw,relatime)
/dev/mapper/vg00-opt on /opt type ext2 (ro,relatime)
and occasionally system fails to boot displaying the message "/(var|opt|home) failed to mount" - wait/skip/ go to maintenance shell.
This looks awfully like bug #527666 but it claims to be fixed while I am still experiencing this issue.
It is possible to mount the partitions with mount -a, and the system
continues to boot after maintenance shell is exited. However ~/Private
ecryptfs becomes unavailable due to:
rtg@buzz:~$ ecryptfs-mount-private
Enter your login passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [ae9ed25cb6615b05] into the user session keyring
open: Permission denied
Error locking counter
The problem with ecryptfs happens every time some partition fails to mount and it is mounted manually.
I am adding the info about ~/Private problem in order to show that mount -a is not a proper workaround for mountall failure.
Here's the content of /dev/mapper:
rtg@buzz:~$ ls -la /dev/mapper/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 160 2010-04-12 13:49 .

I am attaching syslog and debug logs that were written during this
boot.
