I upgraded my main workstation to the recent Ubuntu with systemd, and sadly that has turned into a big problem.

I upgraded my main workstation to the recent Ubuntu with systemd, and sadly that has turned into a big problem. I use btrfs, and have several subvolumes as well as multi-drive filesystems. At some point systemd decides to filesystem check something it doesn't need to, and then times out. Sadly this kind of thing is really difficult to diagnose. The exact same devices are already mounted - the second mount is just a different subvolume. If it just went ahead and mounted instead of outsmarting itself, then all would be good. Thankfully I can make it boot using upstart which works fine. It is very frustrating that /etc/fstab has just worked for several years, but now systemd does the wrong thing. I really want to like and use systemd. An Ubuntu bug report did not help (ignore the wrong title) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/14478...
