  • I just booted up my copy and to remediate what I’m going out on a limb and assuming is the problem, you’d want to run level 3.

    It reads and rewrites every block on the device which, if your slow ssd operations on boot are due to the ssd controller having to try to read a block a bunch of times in order to actually get the contents of the block and pass it down the bus, will speed up the ssd operations that reference frequently read blocks. Like the ones used during the decryption and boot process.

    That wiki article is incredibly out of date. The reference for only using level 1 or 2 is from 2013.

    E: also I like 4 because ssd endurance is not a big deal and ssds lowkey suck and need to be tested before I use em.


  • It’s sorted by length because you invoked the blame flag. The blame flag lists the output by start time.

    Systemd is multithreaded so it’s not like all this stuff happens in sequence. If that were the case you’d have a computer that takes five minutes to boot.

    The tpm is the thing that takes the longest because it has to check a bunch of shit. You can’t do anything about the tpm because you’re using it for encryption and measured boot.

    You’re also looking at the wrong thing. Look at all the 3s sections where the system is fiddle fucking around with the ssd. Run sprite lvl3 or 4 so all those sectors the ssd has to try to read 69000 times get rewritten and see if that doesn’t speed things up.
