You can play around with the mount option nofail, if that’s set, systemd will not wait for the mount point to be ready and continue booting normally. Can be useful with HDDs that take a while to spin up and aren’t needed for the boot process (e.g. backup drives, etc.).
Another thing to look out for: SDCards or USB flash drives that might randomly fail to “spin up” and hang, unplugging those helps.

Thanks! I’ll try with
nofailand see if the lockups stop!Honestly, that could be it now that you mention it… I have had for a while an external hard drive plugged in that I’ve used for some backups.
