why ubuntu takes too long to startup after removing swap partition?
yesterday i decided to remove SWAP partition of my ubuntu 21.10 (which is dual booted with windows 11).
using GParted i removed swap partition.
now, ubuntu takes too long to boot.
it is installed on a ssd and before this operation it used to start in just some seconds but now it takes near one minutes to startup.
how can i find the reason and solve that?
Solution 1:
Your system may desperately be looking for the swap partition. Edit /etc/fstab
and remove (or comment out, i.e., place a #
in front of) the line that does announce your swap partition.
Deleting swap space may not have been the smartest move. You may want to create a swapfile instead. Currently, default Ubuntu installations set up a swap file instead of a dedicated swap partition.
