Re: Mount USB drive during boot

I moved that PC to my father's workshop. So I cannot post mkinitcpio or dmesg here now.
From what I have checked.
Dmesg didn't show any error related to mounting.
Root fs got mounted at 1,3x point,  usb drive got recognized at 3,5, long time after all internal drives were mounted already.
Mkinitcpio might be good place to check.
Mounting external drive from fstab works fine for me on different pc. I don't modify mkinitcpio myself so if there is anything missing, Artix must have changed behaviour because on PC where it works, I have installation that dates back to time when Artix got started, while on new PC it was fresh install using the latest ISO.

It may be worth adding ohci_pci (and/or xhci_pci, if the box has got USB3 ports) in /etc/mkinitpio's MODULES array and re-generate initrd. This - in theory - will initialize the USB subsystem sooner and make the disk available for mounting, if your problem is a race condition.
