Can Linux have difficulty with a 2TB drive?
by ineuw from LinuxQuestions.org on (#550CN)
The title should include a problem with Grub
The problem is that it takes 75 seconds to boot on a fast (3.9GHz) desktop with 16Gb RAM.
When booting, fsck checks the disk and blocks the keyboard from interrupting with Ctrl-C. When it finishes the login screen appears normally.
This desktop Linux Mint 19.3 is installed on a new 2TB 7200 rpm Seagate which I know is slow compared to an SSD, but not this slow.
This attached report lists the following problem:
"File descriptor 63 (pipe:[59749]) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 2099: /bin/bash"
But I have no clue what it means.
Using boot-repair's report feature, I attached the report as a better source of info.
* In Windows, CrystalInfo reports that all three disks are functioning within their parameters and the temps are between 29C - 38C. normal.
* Windows disk health check reports that all is well.
* fsck booted from live USB reports that all drive systems are well.
* gparted also reports that all drives are well.
