I am desperately trying to improve my machine's boot time but I cannot succeed. For now I have spotted that in the verbose boot mode it stops for a longer time on this line :
mountall main process (316) executable changed
This is the content of fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=03c40d10-2200-4e00-8430-a020e8fd1f23 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda7 during installation
UUID=e3729117-b936-4c1d-9883-aee73dab6729 none swap sw 0 0
Edit:
I've tried the following: 1. I've reinstalled ureadahead using these instructions:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ureadahead
2. I've removed any files with a file name of "pack" in /var/lib/ureadahead and rebooted. Another pack file was created successfully.
I forgot to mention : I have this script running on boot (according to some tutorial): /etc/init.d/bootopts #!/bin/sh (/sbin/ureadahead --daemon)&
EDIT2:
I added results of my hard drive test :
although nothing is wrong when I boot Windows :/
Also can you confirm that removing the pack files from /var/lib/ureadahead together with aptitude reinstall ureadahead has been done.
And I forgot to mention : I have this SCipt running on boot (according to some tutorial):/etc/init.d/bootopts #!/bin/sh (/sbin/ureadahead --daemon)&
sudo aptitude
dmesg
output that would suggest a failing hard drive? You can also run a S.M.A.R.T. test (Alt+F2 → palimpsest → select your drive on the left and then run the test: Smart Data → Run Self-test).
