Debian 10 Mate Blkid and /etc/fstab Don't Match SOLVED

[Alexzee]

Boot time for Debian 10 on my rig normally takes under a minute to boot.
Now since installing Elementary OS Debian has had a start job running for 1 min and 30 seconds holding up the boot process.

The output of blkid does not match what's in my fstab file.

Here's the output of fdisk -l Elementary OS

/dev/sdb1 * 2048 899999743 899997696 429.2G 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 899999744 976771071 76771328 36.6G 82 Linux swap / Solaris

/dev/sdb1 is the fs for Elementary OS and /dev/sdb2 is the swap partition for Elementary.

Debian is on /dev/sda-
Linux Mint is on the nvme drive-

Here's the ouput of lsblk -f:

├─sda1

From what I can tell /dev/sdb5 isn't being used yet it's in the fstab file.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

As you can see in the screen shot /dev/sdb5 does not exist.

Can I remove it from the fstab file w/o any issue's?

 

[Alexzee]

I solved the issue.

I edited my fstab file in nano and put a # sign in front of this:
UUID=40bbaed3-36e1-4b24-9db4-e51b2ae7c98c none swap sw

That above UUID was associated with /dev/sdb5 which did not exist anymore.
It was an old partition from a previous installation.

Rebooted and boom the system no longer hangs running a start job for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
