I have been looking at reducing my system's boot-up time and noticed that it seemed to spend quite a lot of time detecting a device called /dev/sdc.
I only have two real hard disks on the system, they're /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. However in dmesg I see:-
[ 7.681894] usb-storage: device scan complete [ 7.690995] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic Ultra HS-SD/MMC 1.82 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 7.691402] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [ 7.707729] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
Is this a laptop? It might be a memory card reader.
That was it, nearly, it was the memory card reader in my monitor which I had (inadvertently) left connected. Removing the USB lead to the monitor has speeded things up significantly.
