Well, but only fsck itself knows that and can determine this from the
superblock. Hence we have to start it first and it will then exit
quickly if the fs wasn't dirty.

Note that these times might be misleading: if fsck takes this long to
check the superblock and exit this might be a result of something else
which runs in parallel monopolizing CPU or IO (for example readahead),
and might not actually be fsck's own fault.

$ repoquery --qf="%{sourcerpm}" --whatprovides '*/lib/systemd/system/lvm2-monitor.service'
lvm2-2.02.98-8.fc19.src.rpm

Please file a bug against the "lvm2" package. And make sure to add it to:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=963210

Hmm, on your machine, what does "systemctl show -p WantedBy -p
RequiredBy systemd-udev-settle.service" show? This will tell us which
package is actually responsible for pulling in
systemd-udev-settle.service.

Thanks!
