Boot time is longer in 18.3? Check your Boot IDs

Linux/ Mint

After installing 18.3 it was taking “too much time to boot”. Earlier it was so quicker..
My issue came from Boot ID and its was following:
The ID in “sudo gedit /etc/fstab” was different than in “blkid”.
I have given the right ID and the boot time till “Login” screen is 1min04 Secs!
Really quick, as earlier…

Here is a way to fix it:
– open Terminal and type “blkid” to find the real IDs of your Partitions.
– Then type “sudo gedit /etc/fstab” in terminal and check, if the IDs are same.
– If not give the right ID from “blkid” result in the “sudo gedit /etc/fstab” result and save it.
