fullzero, do you mind putting this link in original post please, i bet it will be useful to lots of users; thanks Smiley
Thanks for mentioning me and giving the credits,
I added an easier solution to that post
for those who dont need/want the swap and dont need to expand their partition.

Option2 :
If you have 16GB USB/SSD/HDD and dont want/need swap partition.
Just open /etc/fstab with
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
and add a # before the UUID in swap line
Code:
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
#UUID=cdba7b01-5ae6-4104-9a6e-f723b8bd87ac none            swap    sw              0       0
reboot and have fun.

This is osnwt's suggestion see:

Wow. Thank you dbolivar!

The slow boot time has always been my only issue with nvOC. Especially when I've got a sick riser that I'm hunting for. I commented out the swap line in /etc/fstab and BAM! It was like a rocket ship booting up.

SO loving this OS now. Even more than before! Thank you again FullZero for this awesome OS.

Great!! But don't thank me for identifying this invalid entry in /etc/fstab, it was the merit of another user, as I mentioned, but I forgot his username! Nevertheless, Fullzero is aware of this, and said it will be fixed in v19. Smiley

You can do this on any nvOC or rxOC rig by entering the following in the guake terminal:
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/fstab

then commenting out this line by appending a # to the front of it changing:

Code:
UUID=cdba7b01-5ae6-4104-9a6e-f723b8bd87ac none            swap    sw              0       0

to:

Code:
#UUID=cdba7b01-5ae6-4104-9a6e-f723b8bd87ac none            swap    sw              0       0

then close the gedit and reboot.

I applied this change to the v0019_rc a long time ago when osnwt brought it to my attention:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg20492062#msg20492062



Sorry if this was already fixed or is a duplicate report. Didn't read the thread for a long time.

I found that my nvOC system boots too long (around 2 minutes). The cause of that is a swap partition in /etc/fstab that does not exist on USB drive (was /dev/sda5 at install time). After commenting it out a 120 seconds swap disk mount wait time has gone.


Do NOT take credit for other members ideas / fixes.
Taking credit for others suggestions/fixes was not my intention at all.
I am new to your awesome code and noticed how it has a long reboot time, checked the OP and there was no fix for it, so I posted here how I solved it
EvgeniX asked me to write a step by step guide on how I solve the issue here so I wrote it for him how to add swap and expand the partition in this post
Later I thought its good to add an option for those who dont have bigger ssd and just want to disable swap
This is a 140+ thread and a new one like me cant read all the pages and fixes and ideas
Long story short ... I added osnwt name to my post.
Sorry if it seem I wanted to take credit for some one elses idea/fixes.


My Bad, I think its partly my mistake of crediting papampi, but I agree with papampi as there is no link in the OP & searching through this number of pages is not practical at all (though google indexes the website but still not that easy to get to the right solutions sometimes), but like you said, as you have already integrated this in v19 then no point in having instruction on OP.

I will edit my bit and give credits to the right person.

Thanks and sorry for the mess!
