[Bug 1460447] Re: Boot slow, "scanning for btrfs filesystems" takes 100 seconds

 

I have an I7 with 12G  and SSD base drive, with UBUNTU alongside Win 8.
UBUNTU 15.04 takes 100 seconds to boot on that system.  Win 8 boots in
about 20 seconds.  14.10 booted MUCH faster.  I haven't measured the
difference, but gut feel tells me the developers did something stupid.

USER EXPERIENCE, Canonical.  TAKE A LESSON FROM APPLE .  USER EXPERIENCE
COMES FIRST.

We want fast booting and a smooth, fast, hiccup-free, gorgeous,
intuitive user interface.  No bright ideas like common core or new math
or political correctness.  Just smooth, fast, clean booting and UI.
That and staying relatively virus free will win the world's devotion.

Title:
  Boot slow, "scanning for btrfs filesystems" takes 100 seconds

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed 14.10 and used btrfs for /home.  Later, I did a clean install of 15.04, using the same /home partition.
  Ever since then, boots have been agonizingly slow; all the delay appears to be while the message
  "scanning for btrfs filesystems" is diplayed early in boot.

  The system is an i7 with one disk:

  root@i7:~# fdisk /dev/sda
  Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors

  /dev/sda6      btrfs    840043520 172076728 665321064  21% /home

  I'll attach a bootchart, but I suspect the btrfs delay happens before
  the bootchart starts?
