I have an encrypted partition with the system.
During boot, I have a pretty long delay between screen displaying messages and cryptsetup asking me for a password (around 10s)
I can confirm that with dmesg
[ 2.739272] hid-generic 0003:1532:025C.0012: input,hiddev6,hidraw17: USB HID v1.11 Device [Razer Razer BlackWidow V3 Pro] on usb-0000:06:00.3-6.2/input3
[ 16.521082] EXT4-fs (dm-1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null). Quota mode: none.
Ten seconds are waiting for the password prompt, then typing it, then the encryption and finally, it mounts.
Looking at this question and answers https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029598/xubuntu-18-04-kernel-takes-long-to-boot made me think that it is trying to find SWAP, but I've disabled it sudo swapoff -a, commented it out of fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

and made sure there is no way to resume:
cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
RESUME=none
sudo update-initramfs -uk all
And this is my blkid output:
blkid | grep -v squashfs

What is the system waiting on before asking me for a password? Can I decrease this time?
