Boot hangs waiting for LVM partition to be mounted

Ask Fedora

I recently upgraded to Fedora 32, and the first boot process hanged while waiting for 3 different services, one of them my /home LVM partition to be mounted, lvm2.monitor and something about udev.

After trying a bunch of things, I removed my home partition from /etc/fstab, and masked a few services that were hanging ( as far as I remember networkmanager-wait-for.service and one more), and now my system can boot again.

However, at boot time I have to switch to a terminal using ctrl+alt+F2 and mount /home using
mount /dev/mapper/fedora-home /home
before logging in.

If I add the line back to /etc/fstab, the system hangs again, and I don’t get anything relevant in journal. How can I permanently fix this without reinstalling Fedora?

My /etc/fstab:

My boot line:

Have exactly the same issue. I am using older hardware (Asus laptop N56VZ), what kind of hardware are you using?

I have a Samsung notebook pro 9 (NP940X5M) with a “LITEON CV3-8D256” disk. I used to have the same laptop though (N56VZ).

A long time has passed since I asked this question so I did a clean install (again with LVM) and I don’t have any problems anymore.
