i confirm this bug. ubuntu jaunty amd 64, uname -r: 2.6.28-13-generic. the bug first appeared two days earlier with the previous kernel. one strange thing that i noticed is this:
right before "Activating swapfile swap" there are a couple of messages about filesystem checks. for my /dev/sda1 there's a message telling how many files are located on the disk, how many blocks are used etc. when the number of files is say N the boot process hangs for half an hour or so. after that i can boot several times with the message saying that there are approx. N/2 files and a 2 minutes hang. then once again i get number of files close to N and half-an-hour hang. another strange thing: gparted shows that /dev/sda5 (swap) is not activated though it's mentioned in /etc/fstab $ fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xcbf9cbf9 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 29675 238364406 83 Linux /dev/sda2 29676 30401 5831595 5 Extended /dev/sda5 29676 30401 5831563+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris my /etc/fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=c9eeccaa-fdf8-4e85-b219-82602022713c / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda5 UUID=51646e20-d689-4218-bc71-7d5a31a9cab1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 this bug can be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/219349 -- "Activating swapfile swap" takes a very long time during boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369291 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
