Both commands typically need less than a tenth of a second to complete. Please try the following command: strace -tt /sbin/blkid -c /dev/null 2> strace.output And attach the generated file strace.output here. It should display which system calls delay the command for such a long time. If you do not have command strace installed, you can install it with "zypper in strace". -- 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.

We need the output of a strace call where the delay happens. Maybe the delay happens only in installation environment. If yes could you boot into install environment and recreate the strace output. -- 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.

I guess this bug can be marked as duplicate of #773058.
