Yes, exactly.
That machine above boots quite fast. The slowness comes from entering the disk password, manually.
The usual hog is starting many services, or fsck.
Well, yes, mostly. I don't need a disk password and to be honest most services come up PDQ. Except ... Networking always involves delays and any service that depends on networking being up such as Postfix, spamd, the DNS service, fetchmail, are delayed. They may not take much time each, but they are blocked. But yes, FSCK is a killer. My basic strategy of having 5M partitions so I can back them up onto DVD cuts in here. Many of those 5M LVs are underpopulated. "MyDocuments" is one. I split "MyMusic" into genres and not all genres come anywhere near the 5G. Certainly the O(n)^2 of FSCK applies and having these smaller LVs works to my advantage and parallelism is possible, though not as helpful as you might think. But all those FSCK startups, even if they do nothing, still queue and block the disk. Turn off FSCK?
