Ok, but as it's part of the system, something is waiting for it. |

dracut = initramfs |

Did you update the initramfs recently? If out-of-sync with what is on the |
| 36 |
"main" environment, it could lead to issues. |

And rethink everything you did in the last 10 hours. Something caused an |
| 42 |
issue. |
| 43 |
Also, check that the disks are fine and you don't have a degraded raid- |
| 44 |
environment. The initramfs might try to have it rebuild. Which means the whole |
| 45 |
system can be slow. |
