Slow boot on debian stretch with "Begin: Running /scripts/local-block .. done" message

[SalemHarrache]

Hello,

I have just built a debian stretch image from the template default/from_upstream_build/debian-stretch

This message appears when booting the new VM

Begin: Running /scripts/local-block .. done
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block .. done
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block .. done
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block .. done
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block .. done
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block .. done

It really slows down the boot process (40-50 seconds instead of the usual 2-3 seconds)

This is a known bug of initramfs-tools on stretch, which was corrected with version 0.130:

The final version that is installed is indeed the 0.130 one:

root@new-vm: /root # dpkg -l | grep initramfs-tools
ii  initramfs-tools               0.130                          all          generic modular initramfs generator (automation)
ii  initramfs-tools-core          0.130                          all          generic modular initramfs generator (core tools)

root@new-vm: /root # cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume 
RESUME=none

However in the debian-stretch_20190124.tar.xz archive it's not quite the same:

$ docker import - debian-stretch_20190124 < debian-stretch_20190124-1.tar.xz
$ docker run --rm -it debian-stretch_20190124 dpkg -l | grep initramfs
ii  initramfs-tool 0.130        all          generic modular initramfs generat
ii  initramfs-tool 0.130        all          generic modular initramfs generat

$ docker run --rm -it debian-stretch_20190124 cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume 
RESUME=UUID=32be9420-d98b-4dea-9a5c-8370c9544a46

My temporary workaround is for now to launch the (re)generation of initramfs on the new vm
$ update-initramfs -u -k all

But I think we should find out why the value of RESUME is not set to None in the recipe archive of debian-stretch_20190124-1

See you !

PS: I could take a look at it this week-end if no one can before that ;-)
