[Bug 206358] Re: Slow boot process on "waiting for resume device"

[Lowell Alleman]

Double check the contents of your "/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume"
file.  Mine looks like this:

RESUME=UUID=fd24b8a2-61c0-4c97-961e-e5e89777cca8

If that looks good, then you can use this command to check that such a
device actually exists.  This will show any typos when copying the UUIDs, I
know I've made that mistake a few times dispite being very careful.

   sudo /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/disk/by-uuid/`cat
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume | cut -b13-`

Note:  The "vol_id" command is what the startup "resume" script is using to
check that your swap partition exists.  So if this command fails, then it
will not find your swap partition at boot either thus causing the statup
delay.

Here is the output that I got on my system (of course, the UUIDs will be
different from yours)

ID_FS_USAGE=other
ID_FS_TYPE=swap
ID_FS_VERSION=2
ID_FS_UUID=fd24b8a2-61c0-4c97-961e-e5e89777cca8
ID_FS_UUID_ENC=fd24b8a2-61c0-4c97-961e-e5e89777cca8
ID_FS_LABEL=
ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=
