You first reported this problem (as an X-Y) over a year ago, <https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2023/09/msg00175.html>. Originally, you assumed that it was a bug in the Linux MD RAID. At some point, it was revealed that the 30 second delay *only* arises when using GUI programs to access the files. Command line utilities that read the same files have no problems. If I remember correctly, at some point you had found an error message somewhere. Something related to dbus, perhaps? Or some other piece of infrastructure that's used by Desktop Environments. Sadly, I cannot find that message. It was too long ago, and I'm not sure what keywords to look for. In order to avoid reconstructing the entire problem from scratch, I hope you can fast forward to the part where you find that error message again, and then post the error message here. Or, if one of the other readers happens to remember more about that error message, or can possibly find the original email where it was discussed, that would be extremely helpful.
