I'm systematically experiencing very slow boots on my Ubuntu 22.04 and I have seen that dumpe2fs is being called every time I boot:
paag 3780 1864 1 07:11 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/tracker-extract
root 3819 959 0 07:11 ? 00:00:00 dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda1
The disk activity ceases and the computer becomes responsive when dumpe2fs ends.
Is there any way to avoid this program being invoked?
It this a symptom of something I can take action to correct?
