Bug#408040: chrony: Causes boot to pause for several minutes

[Michael Bussmann]

Hi,

I also noticed a large delay in the boot sequence when chrony is starting
up.  Maybe we're talking about different bugs, but in my case the problem
is simply caused by the command

| route 2/dev/null | grep -q default  /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/chrony  /dev/null || 
true

in chrony's initscript.  With a full routing table it takes quite a while
to list all routes :-)

Maybe adding -n and grepping for 0.0.0.0 will speed up the process a bit
(by avoiding DNS lookups)

Cheers,
MB

I'm surprised that the default Chrony installatio is being used on machines
with such large tables.

 bit (by avoiding DNS lookups)

I'll do that.

Lately chrony has been causing my boot process to pause for a few minutes 
before it finally proceeds.  I'm not 
sure why, but I'm sure this could be avoided.  Perhaps chrony could be put much 
lower in the rc scripts, or moved 
to a different runlevel.  Or maybe it should run in the background.  Whatever 
is the best way to do it, please do 
something.
