@dougfractal -- thanks for those. The key information is in the time file you added (reproduced in full below). Note that the overall time taken is 48.67 seconds, and we are seeing two requests and timeouts in association with it. This is an issue with device kit trying to determine what if anything is on the floppy:
DKD_MEDIA_AVAILABLE=1 Entering MS-DOS parser (offset=0, size=4096) read failed (Input/output error) Exiting MS-DOS parser Entering Apple parser read failed (Input/output error) Leaving Apple parser No known partition table found No partition table found on /dev/fd0: Input/output error 0.00user 0.00system 0:48.67elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 32inputs+0outputs (0major+443minor)pagefaults 0swaps Either we should not be scanning floppies in this way (and its a udev issue) or we are failing to note that there are issues reading the disk (more likely a dev-kit-disks issue). -- Linux thinks there’s a floppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down bootup by almost a minute. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384579 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
