Public bug reported: I am running a fully updated Edgy (RC). I have always had a Reiser partition for my / partition and my /home partition. I noticed, when doing a bootchart
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron510m?action=AttachFile&do=get&target =bootchart-edgy-20060920-7.png that there was 5 seconds where there was no CPU or I/O at the same time when fsck.reiserfs was meant to be running. I just reinstalled and changed my root partition to ext3 instead of Reiser and one of the 5 second stalls is gone. My new bootchart can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron510m?action=AttachFile&do=get&target =bootchart-edgy-RC-ext3.png As you can see, there is now only one 5 second stall (I assume for my Home partition, which is still Reiserfs) instead of two. Consequently, my machine boots 5 seconds faster. I like Reiserfs, but if it is going to cost me an extra 10 seconds each boot (25%!) then I will change to ext3. ** Affects: reiserfsprogs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- fsck.reiserfs hangs the system at boot for 5 secs per partition https://launchpad.net/bugs/67301 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
