Extremely slow boot (over 3 minutes)
Solution
just need to shut down and unplug the usb, if it is something that is also powered, cut the power for it too (for me the issue was my powered usb hub)
Zi've had issues with plymouth and boot times before so maybe I need to disable it?

here is a plot of the boot processes according to

systemd-analyze plot > plot.svgseems like its taking a really long time to mount my disks for some reason
ZJust realized the way I shared it in Google drive you can't really see the SVG without downloading it and then opening it in a browser 
Need to find a better way to share an SVG...

Zbut basicly its taking 2 plus minutes on disks for some reason even though there healthy nvme drives (just ran SMART)

Zachtually the top hold up seems to be the built in TPM but don't see how that could be I don't have any disk encryption :ThonkFedora:
Hno idea about this, i am not affected and i have like 11 drives in my system
Zare any mechanical?
I have one but its seems the ones its getting stuck on are nvme

H3 ssds, rest mechanical, some in raid 1
Hif your system is installed on a mechanical drive though then slow boot times on any atomic system is to be expected, ostree is not friendly with mechanical drives
Zno its installed on to a nvme

Zoh i think im looking at it wrong
the
time on the left of each item is how much time passed since loading UEFI
so when it says
that means
it got stuck on
for about one minute since running

it got stuck on
dracut-initqueue.servicefor about one minute since running
systemd-rfkill.serviceit being stuck on dracut though might be related to rebuilding initramfs maybe?
Zso it looks like where its stuck the longest is on dracut
Zyeah
Hdo you have initramfs regeneration enabled
Hits only needed for vfio here i think
Zthen it takes an additonal 6 sec to mount all my drives which i guess is fine
Hrpm-ostree status
Znot sure how do I check
Hif that mentions
Initramfs: regeneratei do have virt manger...
Zyup
Hdo you do vfio/gpu passthrough?
Zit says regenerate
Zno
Hrpm-ostree initramfs --disablethen see if that helps
Zthough i think i did set it up when I ran the ujust...
but I don't use it
but I don't use it
Hyeah it sets it up if you enable vfio drivers
Hujust setup-virtualization vfio-offjust in case
Hthen run
rpm-ostree initramfs --disablehmm nope still getting stuck on dracut it seems
Hi have no idea then why its struggling there
try see if there is anything in
try see if there is anything in
systemctl status dracut-initqueueother than that i got nothing atm
Zhmm this seems to be why
Zwhat that means though i have no idea 
Hhmm
Hthis is a long shot but can you try shutting off, unplug all usbs then boot up again
Hmaybe it hangs on some usb device since it times out on udev rules
Zi think it may be usb devices. I see alot of usb errors in my dmesg.
chatgpt said to check that lol

Hi had that happen with a usb hub long ago where the usb hub was in a weird state which slowed down the boot and this reminded me of that
Hdo what i said then
Hfull shut down
Hunplug every usb
Hboot then plug everything back again
Heasier than trying 1 by 1
