Wait for all device probe to complete before mounting root, even if the root device is already available. This allows to avoid USB probe messages printed over the installer menu. This is needed only in installer with its UFS, since ZFS root of installed system implies it automatically. Ticket: #35497

Wait for all device probe to complete before mounting root. (#91) This allows to avoid late USB device probe messages printed over the installer menu. This is needed only in installer with its UFS, since ZFS root of installed system implies it automatically. Ticket: #35497 (cherry picked from commit 63c31d6a7e7126c2ec9a7a2fc7092e0544f77de5)

That message is a regular device detection message, possibly some USB detection takes too long time. I am not sure we can block that, at least I don't know how right now. If we wait a bit more during boot, it may not be a problem, but that is also a high-cost workaround, not a fix.

I'll probably add some boot delay after beta1 is out to hide those.

#4 Updated by Alexander Motin about 2 years ago

What we need here is estimate minimal value of kern.cam.boot_delay loader tunable, sufficient to make USB devices complete probing before the root mounting attempt. Right now we have it set to 30000 milliseconds for FreeNAS normal boot, and 10000 milliseconds for TrueNAS normal boot, and no values set for installer. But those values, especially FreeNAS one, are pretty high, and I'd really like them to be lower.

Bonnie, could you experiment with that on different systems with different USB devices plugged in, doing different `set kern.cam.boot_delay=XXXXXX` in loader prompt and checking that no USB devices are reported in `dmesg` after the root mount or root mount waiting line? I could just blindly add 5-10 seconds wait there for installer, but would prefer to have any real input there.

I think I've found nicer workaround without fixed delay: https://github.com/freenas/build/pull/91
