From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Resized my mouted root partition and now 1 min delayed startup (lemmy.sdf.org)

I don't know how stupid this was to do but many articles suggested it should be fine.

I resized my mouted root partition. Showed a bunch of warnings on resizing a mounted drive but it worked. Also did a sudo resize2fs /dev/sdaX to complete it.

Went from: winEFI, Win11, EFI, root, swap, data1, data2, win-recovery

To : winEFI, Win11, EFI, root, new-data1, win-recovery

But now every boot takes an additional 60-90 seconds with a blank screen. Pressing ESC shows the above log.

I am unsure of how to fix this or even what caused this. The root partition still starts from the same and only grew to right. Is this because of the deleted swap ?

The operations were performed via GParted but I followed this : https://askubuntu.com/questions/24027/how-can-i-resize-an-ext-root-partition-at-runtime

PS: Pop 22.04 Nvidia. Relatively fresh (~3mo) install but severely miscalculated how much size I needed.

My guess would be it's looking for the removed swap partition. Comment out or remove the entry for swap from /etc/fstab.

It looks something like this:

UUID=b27bc530-5a8f-4160-8814-95679e0f4987 swap swap defaults 0 0

On reboot, the delay is still present. The line #/dev/mapper/cryptswap none swap defaults 0 0 is commented out in /etc/fstab.

But it does wait 90s for the partition like you have mentioned. What do I edit to fix this ? That UUID is not in the fstab file.

Have commented out the line in /etc/fstab

❯ swapon -a
❯ swapon -s
Filename				Type		Size		Used		Priority
/dev/zram0                              partition	16777212	0		1000

Though it says /dev/zram0 and not my old swap partition, I believe this is still seeing the old swap ?
