Comaparing letstrynl's and Anders Kaseorg's bootcharts it seems like there a two separate issues here. On letstrynl's bootchart it's plymouthd that's eating the CPU, whereas on Anders Kaseorg's it's mountall. This could account for our disagreement as to the workarounds. We should maybe split o

I think removing ‘quiet splash’ is a red herring. I can reproduce the problem by creating /forcefsck, whether or not ‘quiet splash’ is in the boot flags. Here is a bootchart without ‘quiet splash’ that demonstrates the same problem (mountall spins at 100% CPU for 200 seconds after all the fscks a

I saw this too, and can reproduce with touch /forcefsck; reboot. Here’s a bootchart; it shows mountall spinning at 100% CPU for about 15s after the first fsck finishes, and again for over 200s after the last fsck finishes. I wonder what it’s doing with all that CPU… ** Attachment added: "balance

I'm sorry if this end up as a hijack, but I'm assuming this is the same issue... This seems to be a very common thing. I would suspect plymouth for the problem, since if you do jump out to a TTY during this then the boot seems to complete nicely. In fact, if you jump to tty and then jump back to
