Im trying to add rootdelay=60 option in grub cmdline options by editing file /etc/default/grub as

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootdelay=300" and also ran update-grub update-initramfs -u however i do not observe any delay after reboot and the root filesystem mounts right away

i can see that the rootdelay=300 is present in cat /proc/cmdline ,is there any thing missing here ?

rootdelay only waits until the rootfs device is available.

The kernel documentation is not very concise:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.14/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html

however, there is an answer on the Unix stackexchange that provides additional explanation:
