Oh, umm. So "nofail" is not supposed to cause delays at boot
really. This really should just mount the fs if it is found during
early-boot. If it isn't found it shouldn't get mounted or anything
delayed for it.

if this causes a delay for you then there's a bug somewhere.

What's the precise fstab line you use now?
