Digging into the casper code, this is because from the initramfs we don't automatically know what device contains the isofs that needs to be mounted in order to get to the root filesystem, so available devices are scanned in order to locate it based on contents. Which means that an available ext filesystem on /dev/sda is going to be mounted first, and if it's in bad shape, it may take some time in order for the mount operation to complete. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900715 Title: The initial screen of Plymouth takes 20 minutes to appear (Groovy live) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1900715/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
