[SOLVED]Boot hang after recent updating issues

Question

I am having issues after the last update. First, I made a mistake of holding back the filesystem package. Because of this (at least I think so) I was having an error that said it could not boot because at boot it said "/sbin/init does not exist". I solved this by upgrading the filesystem package by chrooting from a live arch usb. Now I am having an issue where my system hangs at boot, I believe it is right after systemd runs fsck although I might be wrong. But after maybe 5 minutes it just starts as usual... my ususal boot time is less than a minute. What should I do?
This is from a thread i accidentally hijacked:

Try systemctl --failed and or examine the journal for clues.
Post fstab. Are all of the disks referred to there available when you boot? If systemd can't find them, it will basically wait until it times out and I think that's about 5 minutes and then it will continue booting (assuming it isn't missing anything critical, of course).
My fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda6
UUID=5dc84b70-a9f9-42eb-981c-40e84f7e9e75 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda6
UUID=5dc84b70-a9f9-42eb-981c-40e84f7e9e75 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=f7bccd4f-4b47-4dbb-a8f8-d8e374bb9867 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
# /dev/sda7
UUID=07dcd099-50c4-4c35-a102-10a39b74ac0b none swap defaults 0 0
Would deleting the second /dev/sda6 fix it?

Answer 1

Thanks jasonwryan So my exact boot time was 1 minute and 34.151 seconds (which is not unbearable but like i said it used to be in a matter of seconds)... The kernel took  2.790 seconds and userspace took 1 minute and 31.361 Output of systemd-analyze blame :
922ms systemd-logind.service
832ms systemd-modules-load.service
774ms systemd-fsck@dev-disk-by\x2duuid-f7bccd4f\x2d4b47\x2d4dbb\x2da8f8\x2dd8e374bb9867.service

68ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
57ms systemd-random-seed-load.service
30ms systemd-user-sessions.service
1ms sys-kernel-config.mount
Now maybe I am wrong, but these don't add up to 1 min 31 seconds...It actually adds to about 9 seconds which is probably my old boot time.. What am I missing here?
