Fedora 43: Boot takes about 3 minutes and also applications load really slow

Hi,

I have recently upgraded my system from Fedora 42 to 43 GNOME. Boot up takes about 3 + minutes and also when I start any application it takes at least a minute.

I used to get that Application not responding message, giving me choices to force quit or wait option.

Here is my system info: https://paste.centos.org/view/df3be3c0

Kindly help…

Pardon my language but this is a rusty disk. I would suggest to run “btrfs check --force /dev/sda3” and run memtest because disk or memory are having hard time. In past a collegue of main had crc32 errors between storage controller and disk so you may want to check SMART health of the disk as well. Good luck and share results

Thanks for your quick response. let me share the details requested.

Here is the result of btrfs check

That doesn’t look great. No idea if it’s the cause of the 3-minute boot, but it won’t be helping anything.

I’ll paste the starty and the last few hundred lines of the 10,000 lines of issues:

What do I do?

We perform the incantation to @py0xc3 and ask him to take a quick look before the pastebin vanishes, hence why I captured the end of the output as the first 9,500 are all much of the same story.

Just in case if @py0xc3 needs additional info from smartmontools

Is this a laptop drive? It’s recorded a few shocks in it’s 5.5 years of running time, which is fairly old. It also has 8 sectors that are currently not having a nice time - possibly the ones which have these btrfs errors on them:

197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 8
198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 8

You have a backup of this data, I hope.

HDD is about to die copy your important files to another disk and plan for replacement when this happes

Sure, kindly let me know backup and restore steps to new drive.

just out of interest: where do you see this ?

esp. seeing this:

Originally the drive was from a laptop, now I have re-purposed it to my NUC.

Given that:

It has 46,000 hours on the clock (9)
It has nearly 900,000 load cycles on it (193)
It has 8 sectors which are probably toast already (197 and 198)
It’s been dropped a few times

and it’s presenting here with 9,000 issues in btrfs, so one can reasonably assume it’s seen better days.

It may go on for another 46,000 hours of uptime, but I’d not trust it with anything important. Getting a backup of it seems prudent if there’s anything on there which is vital.

I think you might have to manually run a self-assessment test to get that result to update. Otherwise, it is just the result of the last time the test was run?

You probably don’t want to do that on a dying drive though. At least not before you have backed up any important data.

Great question !
This:
197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 8
198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 8

Normally disk try to self heal or re-assign data to service sector and both didn’t work so my guess is disk is struggling to make sense of failing heads or physical disk and FS is doing the same

AFAIK

is more relevant, but I agree with what you and Gregory said.

I would also backup the drive and run intensive test on it, before using it any further, e.g. also a vendor specific tool, smartmontools, badblock, …

before that I would check if any of the listed failure are relevant:

Kindly help with steps on how I can migrate my fedora installation to new disk.

I guess you’re quicker to backup only the user data and install new

I saw that, and thought is suspiciously low for a drive which has a corrupted file system on it and is showing 8 uncorrectable errors. Given the miles on the clock, I find 0 to be dubious! :slight_smile:
