I have a notebook with Debian testing (Stretch) that suddenly started going through long (4 min) boots.
Something disk intensive stops the boot process for more than 3 miinutes. Looking at dmesg, I see a large time gap here: [ 20.661252] Adding 4208992k swap on /dev/sda1. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:4208992k FS [ 196.805214] EXT4-fs (sda4): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem So, it looks like swap is taking a long to mount. I checked my fstab, and the swap line is: UUID=d30ec1b1-0dab-455d-a7b1-51ca86631bc2 none swap sw 0 0 The UUID is correct. The swap partition is working after boot. Can anyone help on how to investigate further? -- Bruno Schneider
