4.5 minutes to boot..!?!

By Schnooker Fri Oct 27, 2023 3:48 am
Hi all.

I updated to 2.12.2 and now the machine is taking 4 and a half minutes to boot.
I downgraded back to 2.12.1 and everything is fine, but surely i can't be the only soul experiencing this..

File system on one of your cards is likely bad. Do a fsck on the sdcard / usb / sata ssd if you have any plugged in. If the drive is a little worn out it will take a while to index the expansion stuff and search for files on boot.

either you have crap tons of arps/chords or expansions with a lot of images to cache, either your internal microSD / Filesystem is on it's way out - sorry to say it but its most likely the latter one :(

wavejockey via ssh? you cant do fsck on a mounted drive so do this for the internal drive.

##unmount the internal drive
umount /dev/mmcblk1p7

##do file system check
fsck /dev/mmcblk1p7

##reboot when you are done
reboot

Far too many workflow enhancement from 2.8 to 2.12, pretty hard to pass on.
You may think you don't need them but will more than likely appreciate the difference they make.

2.10 was a great stopping point. You had the USB MIDI, Audio, Pad Perform still works as it should.. 2.11 was a shitshow, and so far everything 2.12 seems like its been 'Here's some more plugins to buy'..
