systemd : starting dev-disk-by problem


Hello,

the boot time of my Xubuntu (version 15.04 Vivid Vervet) takes few minutes.
I found following problem into log syslog with the job dev-disk taking few minutes before ending in timeout (however the complete boot seems Ok) :


systemd[1]: Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-18a61c0b\x2d64e0\x2d45f7\x2d8d5e\x2d7f2d2998bab6.swap/start failed with result 'dependency'.

systemd[1]: Job dev-disk-by\x2duuid-18a61c0b\x2d64e0\x2d45f7\x2d8d5e\x2d7f2d2998bab6.device/start failed with result 'timeout'.

How to resolve this failing job ?

Thanks for any clue or resolution.
Bruno

Try commenting out the swap line in /etc/fstab (ie, put a "#" symbol --without the quotation marks-- at the start of the line so the system ignores it).

This will let systemd mount your swap partition automatically if you have a disk with a GUID partition table.

If this doesn't work, un-comment the swap line and make sure the UUID value for the swap partition in /etc/fstab is the same as shown in the output of:
Code:
sudo blkid
If you still have problems, post the output of:
Code:
systemctl --failed
systemctl status swap.target
free -h

Thanks.
The following you reckon works fine :
