I have tried to find a solution to this in these forums, but so far no luck so am hoping someone will know the answer... I have Salix installed on a USB stick, and for some time now it takes about 10 minutes for it to load the persistent file. It then works fine after that, then when I go to shut down it gets to the "Remounting root file system read only" line it hangs - and even after being left for half an hour or more, simply doesn't move from there and shut down the system like it should.
It stops for 10 minutes when booting up when it gets to the 'EXT4-fs (loop6): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)' line at the 21 second mark shown here, then resumes after some time as you can see:
