Public bug reported:
Is there a way to prevent systemd from creating generator targets for
hot-plug disks?
Currently it is causing very long delays at boot-time - which are not
interruptible by the sys-admin - but I'm not sure at what point systemd
decided those hot-plug devices should be added to the boot-time tasks,
or how to safely delete them.
There are generator rules added at some stage but I cannot find
information on how to safely remove them, or how to prevent them being
created.
In this output the device-mapper names prefixed LUKS_HDD_ are the
problem:
