This appears to be a duplicate of bug #654545.

Unfortunately, as Ubuntu 12.04 is in maintenance mode, it is unlikely
that anyone will fix this bug now in that release given that it's being
brought up as an issue 3 years after release when there is a newer LTS
available.  I would recommend upgrading affected systems to 14.04 LTS
instead.

Title:
  Problems with NFS and iSCSI mounts under /usr and /var on 12.04

Status in mountall package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The logic in mountall.c forces the system to wait for all mounts
  within /usr and /var before continuing the boot process.  Sometimes,
  networked filesystems are mounted within these directories.

  Because the services that support networked filesystems aren't
  necessarily started when mountall runs, this can cause the boot
  process to hang.  This has been fixed for Ubuntu 14.04 (mountall 2.53)
  by allowing the 'nobootwait' flag to be set even for filesystems
  within /usr and /var, allowing the administrator to specify which
  filesystems can be ignored.

  We only have problems with networked filesystems mounted under /usr
  and /var; elsewhere they are fine (as the system will skip waiting for
  them by default).

  I'd like to request a backport of the code from 2.53, which permits
  the use of 'nobootwait' on filesystems under /usr and /var, onto 2.36
  for Ubuntu 12.04.
