Slow system boot on Ubuntu MATE 20.04.1 LTS

Asked by Saptarshi Roy

Slow system boots led me to run -

systemd-analyze blame

and the culprit seems to be the following -

4min 19.966s dev-sda1.device

I dug further and ran -

systemctl show dev-sda1.device --property=Before

and got -

Before=run-timeshift-backup.mount

Timeshift isn't configured to take snapshots during boot, however, it it responsible for the slow boot?

Thanks.

If you disable the service completely (not delete though) and then reboot, is it faster?

I disabled Timeshift to check for differences, however, the issue still persists.

A warm boot usually takes less than 2 minutes on an average, however, a cold boot takes between 6 and 20 minutes on an average.
