Hello,
I recently tried to improve the boot time of a low-end laptop (normal
hdd, no SSD) running Fedora23 (+lightdm + xfce), and disabled unneeded
services which were loaded at boot.
However the systemd-journald.service still takes a lot of time to get
started (11.2s), dispite reducing the maximum log size used by systemd
to 64m (found the suggestion in several forums).
Curently, the critical chain looks like:
[root@localhost elfie]# systemd-analyze critical-chain
graphical.target @20.328s
└─multi-user.target @20.327s
└─NetworkManager.service @18.317s +1.995s
└─dbus.service @16.256s
└─basic.target @16.209s
└─sockets.target @16.207s
└─iscsiuio.socket @16.206s
└─sysinit.target @16.139s
└─systemd-update-utmp.service @16.084s +53ms
└─auditd.service @15.613s +459ms
└─systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service @15.152s +429ms
└─systemd-journal-flush.service @14.511s +621ms
└─systemd-journald.service @3.268s +11.222s
└─systemd-journald-audit.socket
└─-.slice
Are there any tools available for analyzing this any further?
Thank you in advance, Clemens
