I have an I7 with 12G and SSD base drive, with UBUNTU alongside Win 8. UBUNTU 15.04 takes 100 seconds to boot on that system. Win 8 boots in about 20 seconds. 14.10 booted MUCH faster. I haven't measured the difference, but gut feel tells me the developers did something stupid.
USER EXPERIENCE, Canonical. TAKE A LESSON FROM APPLE . USER EXPERIENCE COMES FIRST. We want fast booting and a smooth, fast, hiccup-free, gorgeous, intuitive user interface. No bright ideas like common core or new math or political correctness. Just smooth, fast, clean booting and UI. That and staying relatively virus free will win the world's devotion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460447 Title: Boot slow, "scanning for btrfs filesystems" takes 100 seconds Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I installed 14.10 and used btrfs for /home. Later, I did a clean install of 15.04, using the same /home partition. Ever since then, boots have been agonizingly slow; all the delay appears to be while the message "scanning for btrfs filesystems" is diplayed early in boot. The system is an i7 with one disk: root@i7:~# fdisk /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x00007f84 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 117186559 117184512 55.9G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 117186560 234373119 117186560 55.9G 83 Linux /dev/sda3 234375166 1953523711 1719148546 819.8G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 234375168 273434623 39059456 18.6G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 273436672 1953523711 1680087040 801.1G 83 Linux root@i7:~# df -T | grep sd /dev/sda2 ext4 57542652 10103624 44492980 19% / /dev/sda6 btrfs 840043520 172076728 665321064 21% /home I'll attach a bootchart, but I suspect the btrfs delay happens before the bootchart starts?
