[solved] Boot hang (3 / 4 minutes)

[mamba76]

Hi all. I have Mint 20 installed along with Win10 as dual boot on SSD. I have pure UEFI and GPT file systems. When first installed Mint booted really fast. Later I had to re-partition as ran out of space. Long story short I used CloneZilla to successfully restore my system from image after resizing. When starting Mint is getting stuck on

boot: clean, xxx/xxxx file, xxxx/xxxx blocks

Here is FDISK -l

Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 63 192779 192717 94.1M Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda2 192780 424980114 424787335 202.6G Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda3 424980480 425185279 204800 100M EFI System
/dev/sda4 425185280 711905279 286720000 136.7G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda5 711905280 937185279 225280000 107.4G Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda6 937185280 976773119 39587840 18.9G Linux filesystem

Notice the 366 sector gap between sda2 and sda3. Is concurrency here important?
Thanks

Lets see if we can pinpoint in the boot process where things are hanging up. It may confirm what you suspect
in a terminal type this command and post the output here.

Just returns in terminal - no output

The start delay is more like 1 / 2 minutes but this is a new system and feel I should sort these issues out before I start installing my IDEs / Android stuff as its definitely not quite right bit at least it always boots.

===================
you moved things, perhaps in the process you "changed" the UUID of that "storage" partition (or changed the Permissions to only root)
perhaps you can edit fstab to point to the correct UUID ... if it is correct check the ownership

[mamba76]

Ah, actually I did move something. I was going to move my 'home folder' on system part to a separate partition (this was the point of most popular setups) but got stuck when I heard its better to keep just the config files in original 'home folder' and move everything else to the dedicated 'home partition'. I just cut pasted everything to 'home partition' then cut / pasted it back when realised Id rather move things manually when needed. I did set downloads default to 'home partition' (ATM can't remember what file that was). So what could boot be looking for that's causing the hang?

ps. I have nothing on 'home partition' so can delete it if needed.

[bodge99]

Hi,

Yes, the UUID of the NTFS filesystem is incorrect in the 'fstab'. It should be 7A6649E36649A0AD .

Bodge99

[mamba76]

FIXED!
Updated fstab (file system table) as Bodge99 suggested, now takes about 3 seconds to boot!
Thanks for your help guys, really good support for Mint distro for people getting started with Linux. Couldn't have got here as quick without.
I will go back over this later to work out how you solved it but with the tools (commands) provided here it should help me and others in the future.
Cheers!

[bodge99]

Hi,

FYI, For this sort of thing look at the output of 'cat /etc/fstab' and 'blkid' first. If everything is O.K. here (i.e. the UUIDs match and the mountpoints exist) then look at using the SystemD tools..

Don't forget, every time you format a partition, you change the filesystem UUID.

If you need it, see post #10 of viewtopic.php?f=46&t=348777 for some info on UUID's and how they are used.

Bodge99

[spamegg]

Cheers Mamba! This is what the Mint community is all about, helping each other.
Mark your topic as [SOLVED], thank you!

[mamba76]

ps.
Should I be concerned about the 366 sector gap between sda2 and sda3 ?
I guess this would involve more re partitioning but since it works ... !
Actually this must have been done during the window install as Iv not touched them partitions from Linux.
All is well

[bodge99]

Hi,

You can use Gparted to slightly enlarge one of the existing partitions.. You'll probably need to boot from an external device unless the partition in question can be or is unmounted. It's no problem to leave it alone if you so wish. It's not causing (or will cause) any problems at all.

Bodge99

[mamba76]

Next time I need to I will change it thanks
