My system is taking a very long time to boot at the moment. Running $ systemd-analyze blame, I can see that my boot drive (Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB, /dev/nvme0n1p1) is the culprit:
1min 31.290s dev-nvme0n1p2.device
1min 30.516s dev-loop1.device
1min 30.500s dev-loop2.device
1min 30.466s dev-loop3.device
1min 30.464s dev-loop4.device
1min 30.442s dev-loop5.device
1min 30.373s dev-loop7.device
1min 30.371s dev-loop6.device
1min 30.365s dev-loop8.device
1min 30.352s dev-loop9.device
1min 30.304s dev-loop10.device
1min 30.295s dev-loop11.device
1min 30.283s dev-loop0.device
1min 30.268s dev-loop12.device
1min 30.169s dev-loop13.device
1min 30.100s dev-loop14.device
1min 30.069s dev-loop15.device
1min 29.993s dev-loop16.device
1min 29.974s dev-loop17.device
That being said, I'm not sure what all of the different loopX.device entries are and wondered if they have anything to do with the boot speed reduction?
In any case, how would I go about fixing this? I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
