Why?  For the case of mounting a fixed USB disk, I would expect udev
to find it before its init.d scripts is done, as it will load the USB
subsystem and run udevsettle to wait for everything to be detected.
Am I mistaken?  Isn't the long udev wait making sure all detected
devices are available in /dev/ before it continues?

I agree that would be a solution for the disks inserted after boot.
But is it really necessary for disks that are present when the machine
boot?
