I am experiencing very slow boot times on reboot and I have to manually restart 2-3 times to get to a regular boot for it to boot properly. This just started one day and has been happening ever since (before this problem started, the system would boot in 5secs from the time the Ubuntu logo appeared on the screen). I am getting "a start job is running for /boot/efi" at the start and then several lines with journal checking and so on.
I have looked on other threads people reporting the same issue and it seems to be caused by a /etc/fstab erroneous uuid. But I checked sudo blkid and /etc/fstab output and they seem to match.
sudo blkid output:

Does anyone know what is causing this? Edit: I'm on Ubuntu 18.04
