From 8aa752ba222c3d7ec094bb7947359f75f2a6bb2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ludovic Courtès Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2020 23:58:55 +0200 Subject: services: shepherd: Increase the PID file timeout to 30s. When running the installation image off a DVD, early I/O operations are extremely slow, to the point that something like dbus-daemon would need ~20s to start. This change works around the issue.
