So two questions:
- Is there an obvious error with the drive itself?
If you've not seen errors when you're using the drive, then probably not.
I haven't seen any errors, so it's probably a feature rather than a bug with this drive.
- Is there a way to prevent the system boot from freezing while it
waits for the drive to come online?
How about trying to turn it into user unit/service? It would require a login. But may not delay that process.
There's no indication it has anything to do with my existing unit(s) such as dock-watch or raid.[auto]mount, neither of which are logged in the journal extract I posted, so I don't think converting any of that into a user unit or service would make any difference.
Just to be sure, my next step will be to completely disable those units and reboot again, but I'm 99% sure that is still going to show the 30- second delay.
