I've experienced this before (90 seconds timeout) and I found out that some systemd service related to the user session was not terminating, and systemd waits for it until the timeout elapses. This happened to me when I had the rootfs in a f2fs partition, ext4 and btrfs don't seem to trigger this problem. The workaround I used at the time was to extend the unit file by explicitly adding a shorter timeout 10~15s. -- Mauro Santos
