Takes a lot of time to boot into system

I’ve ran these command (imgs below) and found that a lot of blame start with “dev-disk-by…”.
Therefore, I thought it’s might cause by some disk partitioning or mounting issue.
However, I chose automatically partition when install fedora 41 so I not pretty sure about that…

You can get a nice graphical printout and breakdown of boot times with

systemd-analyze plot > bootchart.svg

Which puts a file at /home/user/bootchart.svg

I have a similar login time, if it can be lowered that would be great, but I do not consider it overly long.

Please post text as preformatted text and not as screen shots using the </> button. Please update your post with the text.

I will give it a try, thank you very much

Thanks you for pointing it out, I’d updated the post.

Yeah, the same, I dont know what’s the thing with those disks:

I see graphical.target in 15s but the other log shows times into the 30’s.
Are they from the same boot?

I think the 15s is indicate that graphical.target reach after 15s in userspace
and the 30s maybe the time spent to run the device… etc.

yes they are from same boot!

I expect the disks to be mounted before graphical target is reached.
Are all the disks listed in /etc/fstab?

I’m pretty sure that the disks are mounted before graphical target is reached
after I check the systemd-analyze plot? Am I miss anything?

And YES all the disks are listed in /etc/fstab

btw, my last boot time decrease from about 1 min to 25s

I’m not sure if it can be attribute to that I mask sys-module-fuse.device or not

There is an issue with initing some GPUs for plymouth.
Maybe you have one of these GPUs?

I do not recall which GPUs are affected.

Maybe this.

I understood that the DRM driver is loaded in response to plymouth requesting it to be loaded. So it may well be different apparently.

Isn’t the DRM driver need to be loaded to help plymouth show that splash booting animation?
I found that disable plymouth may not directly affect the boot times.
Maybe plymouth request the DRM driver to load is the true cause?

A problem in 2018 is unlikely to be an issue in 2025.
