Describe the bug
After a clean install i noticed the system taking a bit longer then I would expect to boot.
I mitigated this issue by masking the two services in question:
sudo systemctl mask systemd-remount-fs.service
sudo systemctl mask systemd-udev-settle
Unfortunately I cannot provide you with data on how much faster it got, since unmasking and re-enabling the services did not reproduce the issue. But i would say that they caused about 1/2 longer boot time. About 1 minute compared to 38s after masking.
Startup finished in 5.859s (firmware) + 12.929s (loader) + 1.229s (kernel) + 4.166s (initrd) + 13.583s (userspace) = 37.768s
graphical.target reached after 13.583s in userspace.
What did you expect to happen?
Unneeded services should be disabled or at least not hang on boot, causing longer boot times.
