            Bug ID: 87929
           Summary: more informative mount
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ivo.welch at gmail.com
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

A start job is running for *.device...waiting for 90s

this is probably a relatively common error message for users.  most of the
time, this will be because the partition(s) are not found.

suggestion:

it would be better if there was more information here.  for example, it could
list available local devices and/or file systems that it does see and then say
that the requested device named 'x' is not among them.  ideally, it could even
guess what file system is used, what the file system likely contains (e.g.,
whether it is a linux boot disk, a linux root disk, etc).

(or that the mount binary is bad.  or that the fsck went awry.  or whatever
else that could have gone wrong indeed went wrong.)
