Nov 26 21:13:00 linux-suse SuSEfirewall2_init[793]: /bin/logger -p auth.info this one it takes one and a half minute to execute the command `/bin/logger
(In reply to comment #40)
Ok, now it gets interesting. There are two things going wrong 1. the logger call shouldn't take ages
I also saw this, when using btrfs for root filesystem. In my case it was postfix that took more than 40 seconds to start. The following is the strace output: 22:35:44 execve("/usr/sbin/postlog", ["/usr/sbin/postlog", "-t", "postfix/postfix-script", "-p", "info", "starting", "the", "Postfix", "mail", "system"], ["MAIL_CONFIG=/etc/postfix", "data_directory=/var/lib/postfix", "sample_directory=/usr/share/doc/packages/postfix-doc/samples", "setgid_group=maildrop", "sendmail_path=/usr/sbin/sendmail", "mailq_path=/usr/bin/mailq", "manpage_directory=/usr/share/man", "readme_directory=/usr/share/doc/packages/postfix-doc/README_FILES", "newaliases_path=/usr/bin/newaliases", "PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin", "PWD=/var/spool/postfix", "queue_directory=/var/spool/postfix", "LANG=C", "mail_owner=postfix", "daemon_directory=/usr/lib/postfix", "SHLVL=1", "config_directory=/etc/postfix", "MAIL_LOGTAG=postfix", "html_directory=/usr/share/doc/packages/postfix-doc/html", "command_directory=/usr/sbin", "OLDPWD=/etc/postfix", "_=/usr/sbin/postlog"]) = 0 <0.000116> 22:35:44 socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC, 0) = 3 <0.000010> 22:35:44 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, sun_path="/dev/log"}, 110) = 0 <0.000009> 22:35:44 sendto(3, "<22>Oct 26 22:35:44 postfix/postfix-script[2096]: starting the Postfix mail system", 82, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 82 <39.725261> 22:36:24 exit_group(0) = ? I moved the root filesystem to an ext4 partition and this fixed the problem. Boot time was reduced from Startup finished in 4917ms (kernel) + 123483ms (userspace) = 128401ms to Startup finished in 4206ms (kernel) + 20974ms (userspace) = 25181ms -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
