I still don't know why my external dock is being mounted at boot, but I can live with it for now.

Maybe pvscan wants to check the drive(s) to see if it is a LVM volume? Not sure how to confirm/refute, or how to tell LVM to ignore the USB dock if that is the case.
I'm not using LVM for any of my filesystems, only BTRFS (other than /boot/efi of course).

But LVM doesn't *know* you aren't using LVM until *after* it has scanned all of your disks to see if any of them are LVM PVs. Hence I was wondering if pvscan is trying to access the disks in the dock, eventually the disks spin up, pvscan sees that they are not LVM, and then the boot proceeds.
I could also be way off base here. Just trying to think of anything that in my limited experience would cause boot to (attempt to) access the disks in your USB dock.
OK, however spinning up the disks doesn't take more than 5-10 seconds and I assume pvscan would be almost instantaneous, so I don't think that's the problem.
