In the first-boot-on-HDD scenario, why would latency make the program fail to start at all? I'd expect it to just start slowly.

- cududa 4y agoJIT. It's using a "known state"/ cached blob to start then quickly falls apart as it does it's "SSD expected" memory management voodoo.
- herendin 4y agoUnanticipated race condition perhaps? A process takes 2 minutes instead of 5 seconds, and then a later part of the startup fails because it has no way to handle the totally unexpected lack of data
