Hi,

I've noticed that since upgrading to Fedora 21 that it take longer to boot. The main culprits would appear to be (according to systemd-analyze blame):

19.133s systemd-fsck@dev-mapper-fedora\x2dhome.service
9.325s mandb.service
7.845s dnf-makecache.service

This seems slightly unnecessary, does dnf and mandb really need to run on everyboot? Surely cron is a more logical place to run this type of activity?

fsck I can sorta understand, though, still, on every boot again seems a little over the top.

Any ideas on how to speed things up on boot would be great.

Thanks, Jon

booting shouldn't wait for dnf-makecache or mandb, only the fsck. If that happens every time, it might be for a reason :P

I know that systemd tries to do as much as possible in parallel. It's possible that those two services are simply waiting for fsck to complete. Try using systemd-analyze critical-chain and see if either of those services depends on the fsck.

Would appear that mandb service is the main culprit here. No errors, works find, so I've disabled the service and added a cron to perform this functions (which makes more sense to me than doing this on boot).
