[Bug 571707] Re: fsck at bootstrap is too slow
** Description changed:
PROBLEM
When a disk check is performed, the progress stalls somewhere around 70%
and will then take a very long time finishing the remaining percent (10
minutes or more).
- POSSIBLE WORKAOUNDS
+ TEST CASE:
- 1. Simply waiting several minutes for mountall to realize that the disk
- check is complete. You should not see this problem on subsequent boots,
- until the next disk check is necessary.

+ sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot
- 2. Removing "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot line
+ POSSIBLE WORKAROUNDS
- 3. When the progress has stalled, switch away from the splash screen using
the left arrowkey (presumably any arrowkey works).
- This could speed up the boot process to ~1 minute instead of ~10+.

+
+ The fsck message "(...) non-contiguous (...)" Which I assume indicates

+ This problem seems to occur in both plymouthd and mountall,

ORIGINAL REPORT
Binary package hint: mountall
On my system when fsck runs at boot plymouth % completion count goes up
quickly (<10 seconds) up to about 80% and then slows down considerably:
the complete fsck of my 125GB HD, 30% full takes more than 5 minutes.
While this goes on the text VTs are all completely blank: just a
blinking cursor.
An fsck from a recovery disk completes in ~10 seconds so it doesn't look
like "fsck just being slow".
This slowdown was *not* happening on 2010-04-14 with the PPA described
by this comment:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/554737/comments/25
The fix in the PPA is now in the mainline lucid but somewhere in between
then and today (2010-04-29) something introduced this slowdown.

[Bug 571707] Re: fsck at bootstrap is too slow
Okay. Let me first start out retracting pretty much everything I've said so far... there, now let's start anew: (Using a virtualbox Lucid 32bit guest on 32bit Karmic host) PROBLEM When a disk check is performed, the progress stalls somewhere around 70% and will then take a very long time finishing the remaining percent (in my case, around an hour). TEST CASE: (sudo aptitude install bootchart) sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot WORKAROUNDS 1. Removing "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot line 3. When the progress has stalled, switch away from the splash screen using the left arrowkey (presumably any arrowkey works). * Both these approaches speeds up the boot process to ~1 minute instead. OBSERVATIONS The fsck message "somethingsomething non-contiguous somethingsomething" Which I assume indicates the end of the fsck, is printed in the Virtual Terminal (Not-plymouth) at around 70% + ~10-20 seconds. Disk activity is null from this point on (presumed end of fsck above). Bootchart crashes if trying to catch the whole boot at once with plymouth (at least for my 1h boot). This problem seems to occur in both plymouthd and mountall, semi-simultaneously: If you are in the plymouth screen, plymouthd is the cpu-gobbler, if you switch away from it using the arrow keys, mountall instead takes over the cpu-eating. BOOTCHARTS (attached along with complete bootchart log as arand_bootcharts.tar.gz) 0arand_clean ## Reference clean boot, with plymouth and no fsck. 1arand_switch_to_vt_early ## In this boot I switched to VT (allowkey out from splash) quite early, as seen in that the shift plymouthd->mountall cpu-hogging is early. mountal takes a little over 100 seconds to finish. 2arand_switch_to_vt_later ## In this boot I switched to VT later on. It might be noteworthy that the time that mountall cpu-hogs is approximately the same (100s) 3arand_no_quiet_splash # mountall still hogs the cpu, but for a considerably shorter time, overall boot finishes much faster.

Comaparing letstrynl's and Anders Kaseorg's bootcharts it seems like there a two separate issues here. On letstrynl's bootchart it's plymouthd that's eating the CPU, whereas on Anders Kaseorg's it's mountall. This could account for our disagreement as to the workarounds.

I think removing ‘quiet splash’ is a red herring. I can reproduce the problem by creating /forcefsck, whether or not ‘quiet splash’ is in the boot flags.

I'm sorry if this end up as a hijack, but I'm assuming this is the same issue... This seems to be a very common thing. I would suspect plymouth for the problem, since if you do jump out to a TTY during this then the boot seems to complete nicely. In fact, if you jump to tty and then jump back to plymouth it's noticable that it has managed to get much further in the percent compared to what it would have if you just stayed on the plymouth screen... Each time I jump to tty the normal "fsck...clean...non-contiguous #%" message is repeated (one extra each jump) which presumably indicates that fsck has finished, and plymouth (or something else) is messing about with other things... -- fsck at bootstrap is too slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571707 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v 8Gb SSD running Lucid 10.4 with latest updates. I have exactly the same fault. As with the other reports, three or so updates back, the boot process froze completely. Taking out quiet splash showed that it froze after fsck had completed. The last two updates have stopped it freezing, but fsck now takes in excess of 20 mins to complete on this netbook. My suggestion for now would be to kill plymouth when /forcefsck is detected. I don't think this would be a popular suggestion, but for me, it would be nice!

[Bug 571707] Re: fsck at bootstrap is too slow
Thanks for the report, guys. It _sounds_like this could be a plymouth issue, but I'd like to collect some more information to be sure. Could you install the "bootchart" package and reboot (with fsck forced I guess), attach the resulting image from /var/log/bootchart Thanks ** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- fsck at bootstrap is too slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571707 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am waiting for fscheck to finish booting my other PC since 7 minutes now... stil all 95%, very very slow. -- fsck at bootstrap is too slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571707 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 571707] Re: fsck at bootstrap is too slow
I get this on a Dell Mini 9; the slowdown starts at 70% and gets even worse at 90%,to the point that I eventually just shut down the machine. The odd behaviour from 70% on has been present ever since I installed the beta. Initially there was a complete hang at 70%; this was "fixed" (#554737) inasmuch as the machine no longer locked up, but there was clearly something still wrong; fsck got to 70% and stopped and then the login screen came up. Over the past couple of days something has changed; fsck proceeds beyond 70% but impossibly slowly. -- fsck at bootstrap is too slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571707 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 571707] Re: fsck at bootstrap is too slow
** Description changed: Binary package hint: mountall On my system when fsck runs at boot plymouth % completion count goes up quickly (<10 seconds) up to about 80% and then slows down considerably: the complete fsck of my 125GB HD, 30% full takes more than 5 minutes. + + While this goes on the text VTs are all completely blank: just a + blinking cursor. An fsck from a recovery disk completes in ~10 seconds so it doesn't look like "fsck just being slow". This slowdown was *not* happening on 2010-04-14 with the PPA described by this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/554737/comments/25 The fix in the PPA is now in the mainline lucid but somewhere in between then and today (2010-04-29) something introduced this slowdown.

As four people are affected, I set the status to confirmed. I experience this behavior on 64 bit. The 'problematic' area starts at 74%.
