Slow boot time [Solved]

Post by norse »

This has been happening for a couple of weeks and I've just got round to looking at it.

After running a

Code: Select all

journalctl -r -b
I looked through the result, and see this:

Does this mean it is waiting on some kind of response or interaction from the disk 12FE-91E7?

These two lines in your /etc/fstab do not correspond to any devices:

Code: Select all

UUID=12FE-91E7  /boot/efi       vfat    defaults      0       1
/dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50014ee265828e9a-part1 /mnt/wwn-0x50014ee265828e9a-part1 auto nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=Windows%20backup 0 0
That's why they are timing out. It tries to mount those entries, but there is no device with those IDs to mount.
Open the file with sudo cat /etc/fstab, add a comment # in front of those lines, save, close.

Open the file with sudo cat /etc/fstab, add a comment # in front of those lines, save, close.
This will not work.

The best way to edit the fstab file is:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/fstab
navigate using the arrow buttons and add the # where smamegg has indicated.
Then press ctrl+o to write the change,
prress enter to accept the default path
ctrl+x to exit
Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.

Cheers for the help, much appreciated.
