If /dev/sdc2 is not vital to boot your system, you should mark it as
"nofail" in /etc/fstab.

v215 will automatically switch to verbose mode when it a unit triggers a
timeout or fails to start.

See the attached screenshot.
In timeout1.png, systemd is waiting for the device to show up.
In timeout2.png you see that it reached the timeout and then drops you
into emergency shell (timeout3.png).

Does that address your issues?
