Hi everyone,
Could some please provide some suggestions to make Zorin OS boot faster?
Zorin OS boots consistently and performs well once booted. However, compared to other distributions, Zorin OS 16 Pro requires nearly 2 minutes whereas others seem to boot in under 15 seconds.
Boot keeps hanging on /dev/sda2: clean, ...
for between one and two minutes. I copied part of /var/log/boot.log
. If needed I can copy the full log. After the 'cleaning' there is a time out with some errors, and then the rest of the boot is performed problem free in about 1 second.
Note: in my latest log there are 51 lines in total with 'Clearing orphaned inode...'
The # are to be replaced with various numbers. If these lines are meaningful, I'll post the full log.

The listed SSD contains Zorin OS 16 Pro and programs. This is the primary boot device.
I'm running a sort of dual boot with Windows 10. I use the BIOS to select a NVMe M.2 SSD (256GB) that is not listed above as a boot device, which contains the original Windows installation that was provided with the device. The Windows installation is not visible from Linux and vice versa.
Secure boot / TPM is disabled. Intel RST is enabled.
Thank you for your time for reading up to this point. Please let me know if more information is required, and if anyone has a suggestion to 'fix' the boot delay, I would be most grateful.
