(stupid USB > panic) That's kind of what I thought, but as I said, I just tested it, and what happened was: - system takes 20 mins or so to boot - partition that lives on system that takes 2 hours to fsck is mounted - I unmount it and fsck it by hand, and it is indeed dirty - meanwhile, a lot of /var logs and dmesg.boot are zero/missing So it looks like it fsck'd / and /var, and just mounted the big partition dirty.
