Description of problem: Systemd startup takes a lot of time because dracut-initqueue waits 90 seconds while running `lvm lvchange --yes -K -ay` and waiting for dbus to receive message. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 055-2.fc34 How reproducible: Each time machine starts Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot or shutdown and start 2. Add rd.debug to boot kernel options (optional) Actual results: Slow startup. Expected results: Fast startup. Additional info: Check who is to blame: $ systemd-analyze blame | head 1min 36.397s dracut-initqueue.service 8.008s systemd-cryptsetup@luks\x2d568ab6cb\x2d9d33\x2d4597\x2da627\x2dbc06455ddde9.service 6.571s NetworkManager-wait-online.service ... After adding rd.debug to kernel options, check what took it so much time. Notice the 90 seconds gap between "read -r line" and the warning about D-Bus. $ sudo grep dracut /var/log/boot.log | grep dracut-initqueue [ 12.274789] dracut-initqueue[690]: + echo 'inactive '\''/dev/vgRoot/tmp'\'' [5.00 GiB] inherit' [ 12.274857] dracut-initqueue[690]: + read -r line [ 12.275103] dracut-initqueue[690]: + info 'inactive '\''/dev/vgRoot/swap'\'' [23.12 GiB] inherit' [ 12.275178] dracut-initqueue[690]: + echo 'inactive '\''/dev/vgRoot/swap'\'' [23.12 GiB] inherit' [ 12.275251] dracut-initqueue[690]: + read -r line [ 12.275318] dracut-initqueue[690]: + info 'inactive '\''/dev/vgRoot/home'\'' [397.62 GiB] inherit' [ 12.275385] dracut-initqueue[690]: + echo 'inactive '\''/dev/vgRoot/home'\'' [397.62 GiB] inherit' [ 12.275451] dracut-initqueue[690]: + read -r line [ 12.292401] dracut-initqueue[690]: + '[' -n '' ']' [ 12.292885] dracut-initqueue[669]: + for LV in $LVS [ 12.293795] dracut-initqueue[691]: + lvm lvchange --yes -K -ay --ignorelockingfailure --ignoremonitoring --poll n vgRoot/root [ 12.294217] dracut-initqueue[692]: + vinfo [ 12.294302] dracut-initqueue[692]: + read -r line [ 102.432169] dracut-initqueue[692]: + info 'WARNING: D-Bus notification failed: Transport endpoint is not connected' [ 102.432384] dracut-initqueue[692]: + echo 'WARNING: D-Bus notification failed: Transport endpoint is not connected' [ 102.432718] dracut-initqueue[692]: + read -r line [ 102.453717] dracut-initqueue[692]: + '[' -n '' ']' [ 102.454118] dracut-initqueue[669]: + for LV in $LVS [ 102.456269] dracut-initqueue[700]: + lvm lvchange --yes -K -ay --ignorelockingfailure --ignoremonitoring --poll n vgRoot/swap [ 102.458576] dracut-initqueue[701]: + vinfo [ 102.460569] dracut-initqueue[701]: + read -r line [ 102.614460] dracut-initqueue[701]: + '[' -n '' ']' [ 102.614701] dracut-initqueue[669]: + '[' -z 'vgRoot/root [ 102.616387] dracut-initqueue[669]: vgRoot/swap' ']' [ 102.616488] dracut-initqueue[669]: + '[' -n '' ']' [ 102.616542] dracut-initqueue[669]: + '[' '' ']' [ 102.618348] dracut-initqueue[669]: + unset lvmwritten [ 102.618377] dracut-initqueue[669]: + udevadm settle [ 102.620112] dracut-initqueue[669]: + need_shutdown [ 102.620279] dracut-initqueue[669]: + : [ 102.620541] dracut-initqueue[500]: /bin/dracut-initqueue@47(): check_finished I was told at the #lvm IRC channel that disabling notify_dbus in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf should solve the problem.
Setting notify_dbus=0 in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf did not solve the problem.
RPMs installed: dbus-1.12.20-3.fc34.x86_64 lvm2-2.03.11-1.fc34.x86_64 systemd-248.3-1.fc34.x86_64 dracut-055-2.fc34.x86_64
Probably the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1976653 In my case setting notify_dbus=0 in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and running "dracut -f" as root did fix the issue.
