Hi everyone, I was also being affected by this. I find nmbd useful to be able to just refer to the machines by their names in controlled local networks, with a very simple setup. When I applied the suggested workaround, I seemed to lose that functionality.
By inspecting the output of systemd-analyze critical-chain I found another way - just disable the winbind service: systemctl disable winbind The boot time is thus much reduced and the name resolution offered by nmbd continues working as before. I see no degradation to any other function, so this seems to be fine for my case. Regards, -- Luís Picciochi Oliveira
