Sounds similar to this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187007

I think for some reason, maybe legacy reasons, dracut is incorrectly
pulling in volumes as dependencies. This is the job of
systemd-fstab-generator, which should look at fstab at create native
systemd units to mount or activate fstab items. And on GPT disks
there's an additional systemd mechanism to activate things based on
partition type GUID in which case they don't need fstab entries at
all.
