Thanks for this thread......

After this morning's update, my system also would not boot: system
would hang trying to mount an ntfs-3g partition that had an entry in
/etc/fstab.

I BZ'ed it here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486619
against ntfs-3g.

However, after turning off 'mdmonitor', the system boots just fine and
no longer hangs on the ntfs-3g mount.

Moving this BZ to mdadm....

Thanks again.
