I downgraded to systemd-187-4 but have still the same problem.
Any hints where to start searching? Fred
I found a work around:
if I replace in fstab /dev/mapper/nvidia_cjjcaiiep1 /home ext3 defaults,acl 0 1 by /dev/dm-7 /home ext3 defaults,acl 0 1
the system is booting without problem.
This is extremely dangerous! The name "dm-7" is not persistent at all, it may change at will. What you describe here suggests a problem with the device-mapper and its udev interaction. Udev is supposed to create the symlink /dev/mapper/nvidia_cjjcaiiep1 -> ../dm-7, but it doesn't do so, or doesn't do so in time. This problem lies somewhere in the device mapper library, or in the way the dmraid tool uses it. To be more precise: When activating dmraid, the tool is supposed to wait until udev successfully created the missing symlink. So either dmraid is not configured to do that, or systemd doesn't wait until dmraid finishes, or systemd doesn't know to call dmraid at all. I don't understand enough about systemd to fix this right now, sorry. I am forwarding this to Tom and Dave, who probably don't follow arch-general anymore, but can surely shed some light on the situation.
