Hi,
Are passed about 5 weeks since the first time that I noticed this issue.
I recently back on Haiku (since hrev50067); the last time that I run Haiku
was about one year ago.
Well, since hrev50067 Haiku take a long time (compared to the past) to
boot: it hangs for about 12 - 13 seconds at the disk icon. I tried an old
hrev (hrev49662) and the boot time was fast as usual.
I reported this issue firstly in #12258
You can see my comment here: ticket:12258#comment:38
but the launch_daemon is not the culprit (launch_daemon is related to the
rocket icon, and the issue, for me, is related to the disk icon)
Then the other guys (eg Humdinger here ticket:12258#comment:41) in such
ticket told me that the culprit could be #12634 (the syslog is
continuously flooded with the same messages - see also #12415)
I also tried to cleaning the old "state" directories in
/system/packages/administrative because when this folder grows, could
cause a slow boot.
Today, since I was thinking that the culprit would be #12415 I also
uninstalled my optical drive (and disabled the SATA port in the BIOS): so
now I no longer experienced the issue with the syslog which keeps growing,
but the boot time is still slow.
Now, since I made the described workaround (uninstalled the optical drive)
the syslog is no longer spammed and I attach the new clean version.
