Re: Impossibly long Boot Time
try:
it's much easier to figure out and use (it shows a time sorted list with the biggest times on the top and smallest on the bottom of the list.)
if you also just want a simple totalled up breakdown just do:
Like on my machine here, I get for that:

Those two are the biggies, you probably don't even use sendmail (if you don't know then you likely aren't). do this:
Quote:
su -
<root password>
systemctl stop sm-client.service
systemctl stop sendmail.service
systemctl disable sm-client.service
systemctl disable sendmail.service
exit
|
The next reboot should be much faster

It did reduce the time a lot, from 174 secs to 95 secs. I think there's something else left that's taking the time that's not listed in the blame list

Re: Impossibly long Boot Time
Fedora comes with a lot of stuff you may not need. For instance, if like me you use a very simple disk setup (/dev/sda1 for root, /dev/sda2 for home and /dev/sda3 for swap), you can get rid of a bunch of disk related services that take up a lot of boot time. And if you think abrt reports are useless and don't want to file them you can disable those. Same for mce logs. Same for pcoe services. And so on and so forth. Basically, by removing or disabling the stuff you don't need/use, you'll get a faster, and possibly even stabler and more secure system.
Below is what a boot up looks like on my intel core-duo with 3GB ddr3 on a 5400 rpm hard-drive.

Re: Impossibly long Boot Time
thanks, taking into account these advice and reading a bit on the web on which services are safe to disable, i managed to speed the process a lot, but im still above the 30 second mark, i think i can get it lower so is there any other service i can give the boot?.

Re: Impossibly long Boot Time
To, catastrophe, Am i correct in assuming that you have disabled following services?

101ms iscsi.service
|
Further have you tried booting by removing ntfs entry from etc/fstab. You can compare the results to find out culprit.
I think your entry for ntfs in /etc/fstab should be containing 0 0 at the end, however it can be clarified by more knowledgable forum member.

Re: Impossibly long Boot Time
EDIT: Whith these lines, no warenty, nor garanty applyies, do all changes to your system at your own risk!
The outout ofr /etc/fstab looks like copy pasted from a terminal editor, as it is incomplete and ends with $..
If you dont use SCSI harddisks, you may disable the "iscsi.service" and "iscsid.service" modules.
If you dont use a NAS/NFS, you might try to disable the "netfs.service, nfs-idmap.service, nfs-lock.service" modules.
I'm not very sure how (un-)safe it is to disable: var-lib-nfs-rpc_pipefs.mount.
For you to compare:

41 services: Total = 71.4 seconds
Startup finished in 2153ms (kernel) + 3395ms (initramfs) + 29010ms (userspace) = 34560ms
im pretty sure that 71 secs figure for 41 services is, well, abnormal
comparatively speaking the individual times for some processes seem too high, for example sillav's 397ms networkmanager vs. the 2556ms on mine, among others.
and my real fstab
