At least the 5 minute wait for samba goes away if you clean up the
/etc/rc*.d/*samba symlinks that samba never removed when it split the
init script.  Those leftovers that no other init system is bothered by
really upset systemd.

Doesn't fix systemd's many problems, but at least removes the 5 minute
shutdown delay.

Hello,

I really hate systemd, since it is installed on one of my machine
starting and stopping the system are painful.
Starting is more than one minute with the X screen appearing at the very
end.
Stopping is the more painful thing, that machine wait more than 7
minutes before to stop, other systems are stopping in less than 1
minute. 
As someone noticed "samba" is often the culprit taking 5 minutes to stop
the service.
I want really often to unplug the cord ! But didn't do it.
Systemd is hard to understant and even harder to diagnose when something
goes wrong as it did often.

Regards

JP P

see the specifics).  I'm all in favour of hardware memory protection
and the like separating disparate system components as a step in the
direction of safety, and I already deplore the monolithicity of the
Linux kernel.  (Perhaps formal verification would be an adequate
substitute, but we're not there yet.)  But with adequate code review
and such we manage to get along.


OpenVMS had it right. Split it up, put the pieces in their own cpu ring 
and have them pass messages. Processes never get escalated privileges.


People had a lot of fun *trying* to break in to OpenVMS at Defcon ->
