Hello everyone I’ve been using openSUSE for almost 3 weeks and have noticed that sometimes like once every 20 restarts it will take a bit longer to restart, its like it freezes on the shutdown screen the screen that has the image of the grey background and the vine on the right side, the vine will slowly disappear then leave the grey background image, usually its about 30sec to 1min long then it goes ahead and restarts.
This happens on 13.1 and Tumbleweed which im currently using. Is this normal ? does anyone else notice this behavior also ?
Depending on the filesystem and its settings, yes.
But this is done on boot, not on shutdown.
This problem is a bug in systemd though AFAIK.
The user session cannot be killed for some reason and systemd waits until the (30 seconds?) timeout to continue the shutdown.
If you press ESC, you can see it.
I experience this from time to time as well, but have no idea what triggers it.
But I think there’s a bugreport about that.

Not really.
There is a method to detect, or guess, if the system was properly closed
the previous time.
On 11.4, which was about the last to use system V, you can see the
method used - with the current systemd, I don’t know -. Look at
“/etc/init.d/ boot.rootfsck and boot.localfs”:
If the file “/fastboot” exists, there is no fsck done.
If the file /forcefsck"" exists, fsck is forced.
Then, some filesystem types do always a fast check (reiserfs? xfs?);
only if symptoms of problems are found it does a real check.
