Ok, but as it's part of the system, something is waiting for it. > Many moving parts: dracut, kernel, lvm2, mdadm(?), systemd ... dracut = initramfs Did you update the initramfs recently?

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