Control: tags -1 - moreinfo I've observed this problem again today
Looking more closely, I noticed that it started to fsck the mount just before it tried to mount it. It didn't appear to wait for fsck to finish: Dec 03 10:51:37 systemd[1]: Started File System Check on /dev/mapper/vg00-foo_host1_bak.
