While booting, my PC waits for 10 seconds looking for a device by the name/mountpoint /dev/disk/by-uuid/dcce535a-0b0d-460f-b66d-6a103fb37f8. Also i recently disabled swap because it was giving me a bit of performance issues. i masked the systemd swap target(systemctl mask swap.target) and removed the swap partition from fstab (/etc/fstab)
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may
# be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if
# disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

As you can see it only has my main boot drive. (forgive me for using ext4 installer threw some errors while using btrfs). Crypttab also is empty so that also is not an issue. Sorry for the late reply, had some other work(exams etc).
Also, it might be looking for the swap partition that you removed from etc/fstab.
As far as I can understand, your issue is that you didn't disable swap, so system will try to look for it while booting. But as you removed it from fstab, it didn't automatically Mount it. So, it looks for it.
Im doing pretty good but under the stress of many choices, you can understand the situation of a person who didnt ace JEE but isnt a full dumb dumb either.
And btw, in my opinion, you should focus more on JEE. Just leave your laptop/desktop for a few months and focus more on studies. We will be there after a few months too.
I am only on my cell and I find things hard to read on such a small screen with my vision. However, something seems drastically amiss with your fstab. How is it that you are using ext4 as your root partition format. Garuda should be installed with btrfs, with numerous btrfs subvolumes in any proper default Garuda installation.
Your fstab does not appear to be from a valid default Garuda installation. Installing Garuda in any format other than btrfs is non-standard and unsupported.
What are we really looking at here? Your other 7 partitions are all in Windows format. Are you sure you are posting on the correct forum?
I am infact using ext4 since garuda refused to install with btrfs a year back when I installed this. I tried my hardest to get it installed with btrfs but it refused. (pretty much 0 issues over the past year, i recently disabled swap and cant seem to completely disable it from my system,as a hard stop i deleted the swap partition, so its looking for the swap partition everytime and realising its not there)
mount -a doesnt say anything
i think journalctl lists everything after the boot. journalctl -b lists boot journal.
Just journalctl is around 2.6 million lines long.
journalctl -b[Garuda's PrivateBin]
Technically only the ext4 part is unsupported so only that part is a valid refusal of help
Btw I am done with my jee. I decided to move on. Don't have the energy to study the same things again. As a side product imma learn coding. And one day contribute to garuda.
Since you have already removed the swap partition from the fstab, why don't you try unmasking swap.target?
Maybe other units are using After=swap.target to run after swap setup and this is creating problems...
