run "systemd-analyze critical-chain home.mount" and it will show you the requirements.
I would suspect something going wrong with the activation of the home lv. On boot up do a "lvs" post that info. The Attr column will show if it is activated or not. And if you find a dependency not working run at "systemctl status " against it, and that should show you what error it got. Is home its own lv or on the vg with root?
