All my Fedora 21/22/23 (20+) installations are on multiboot PCs with RTC set
to local, and /etc/adjtime set to LOCAL. I can't recall if any are *not* now
taking 3 minutes or more to boot due to fsck delays that were not occurring
as recently as 3-4 months ago. Maybe kernel 3.18.3 or so was good, 3.19rc
started the fsck delays? Cauldron and Tumbleweed booting 3.19.4 kernels on
same PCs are not producing any similar delays, some booting in under 40s
without benefit of SSD or more than 2 cores.
