I guess you use systemd ?

Yes. Mandriva 2011.0 also had the problem. They did seem to fix it as far as a real system goes. I think it is a race condition because VirtualBox has no prompt IIRC. Then again it exists on real hardware. My real system has lots of partitions on both drives and my VirtualBox has about 3 partitions on drive.
