FWIW, I downloaded Ubuntu's reiserfsprogs source (apt-get source reiserfsprogs), applied the patch above, compiled it (./configure && make) and manually installed reiserfsck (sudo cp fsck/reiserfsck /sbin/). Then I rebooted and the 10 seconds of delay were gone: my boot is now 10 seconds faster.
So I can confirm that the very simple patch above, that simply removes a sleep of 5 seconds, works as expected for me. I hope this patch can be integrated into ubuntu. [[[ I'll notice that ReiserFS is still the worst offender in my boot time: it still takes around 20 seconds to mount (thought it's now full I/O time, the idle is gone). I think this is because of the scan check performed each time the drive is mounted. This is handled by another, more invasive, patch here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/reiserfs-devel/msg00682.html But this is for another day (and another bug). ]]] -- fsck.reiserfs hangs the system at boot for 5 secs per partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
