New description:

 When the system boots, there is no way of telling initng which filesystems
 it
 needs to wait for and which it doesn't (for example if /usr is not on the
 same
 partition as /, /usr needs to be mounted before booting can continue), but
 filesystems nonessential to the system boot process (for example ones
 storing
 music or videos) still create a pause (up to about 10 seconds in the case
 of
 reiserfs partitions) at mount time.
 Propose the creation of a file (in /etc/conf.d or anywhere else
 appropriate)
 where the user can specify filesystems that the system does not need to
 wait for
 (ie that can be mounted in the background while the system gets on with
 booting).
