X440 Reboot Takes A While

I am noticing when I issue a reboot command to the X440 it will sit at
shutting down the usrp-hwd service for a while, usually with a 90 second
timeout.

After that, it usually doesn't even reboot for quite some time.

Is this a known issue? Is there anything I can do to debug why usrp-hwd is
stuck shutting down? Any idea why, even after it shuts down, the RFSoC
doesn't want to reboot itself appropriately?

Thanks,
Brian

The 90 second timeout is a known issue, and it was recently fixed. With the
next release, the USRP Hardware Daemon (MPM) service should shutdown
immediately.

But I'm not aware of it taking a long time after the service shuts down. In
my experience, it reboots very quickly after the service shuts down.

Good to know that the 90 second timeout thing was fixed recently.

I just tried it again myself and when I get the 90 second timeout,
systemd-shutdown complains about:

systemd-shutdown[1]: Failed to set timeout to 10min: Invalid argument

... after which my system doesn't reboot at all. It's been sitting here for
a few hours with nothing on the console moving it forward.

Any tips on how I can debug this? Does your system that reboots normally
still have that 10min invalid argument thing?

Note I am running the released 4.8.0.0 image.

Thanks,
Brian
