Hi All, A while ago I noticed that Fedora ws installed from a livecd has systemd starting (and waiting for) the old obsolete udev-settle service. Which can cause a rather big increase if the bootup time. This is caused by 2 storage related .service files still bringing it into the boot by Requiring the udev-settle service: dmraid and device-mapper-multipath. Ideally these services would be rewritten to support event based activation, but that is quite unlikely to happen anytime soon. So I've come up with a small workaround for dmraid: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DisableDmraidOnFirstRun And for device-mapper-multipath my plan is to simply drop it from the livecd: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveDeviceMapperMultipathFromWorkstationLiveCD My reasoning here is that multipath support is an enterprise data-center feature and we don't need to support that with the Workstation livecd. Most install in such a setup will likely be server or everything netboot installs anyways. Since this directly impacts the workstation product I thought it would be good to post a headsup here. The change has been announced on fedora-devel, so please reply there to keep all discussion surrounding this in a single place.
