If you have many partitions, then the grub2 operating system prober takes a while to construct grub.cfg: more than half a minute for my three dozen partitions. This is new with grub2 instead of grub. Most of the rest is yum, in two parts. The first is verifying that all the files named in all the packages actually did get installed. The second is constructing the yum database, which uses symbolic links in the filesystem. Look in /var/lib/yum/yumdb to see this monster. You'll notice that the harddrive LED stays on the whole time! Journalling all that is _expensive_. -- -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
