Comment 9 for bug 561390

I was also affected by this bug for about a week. Continuing to wait for /home to be mounted did not seem to work (for about 5 minutes, at least) so i did the same thing than Thierry Carrez.

My /home partition is under LVM on top of a software RAID 1.

I tried it three time with this mountall. It worked the first one, failed the second, and worked the third, but with a message i did not have time to write down concerning my /dev/md0 array not yet ready.

Something else worth mentioning is that /dev/shm seems to not have been set with the right mode. It is easy to notice because chromium browser is then unable to display its panels.
