systemd-udev-settle.service suddenly active after last system update

Hi,

with my last pacman -Syu I noticed that my boot time went up from 4s to 8s.
Using systemd-analyze, I saw that systemd-udev-settle.service is the culprit.
I am not using lvm or similar, so AFAIK systemd-udev-settle.service should not be running on my system.
Does anybody know why this was activated by the last system update and if it is safe to just mask or disable the unit?
With best regards,

p90

I noticed that it is slowing down my boot also, I checked and for some reason the lvm2 package was installed which looks like it was partially causing it. It has a couple messages at boot and in dmesg. I removed lvm2 and by boot time is a little better, and masking systemd-udev-settle brings my boot back to where it should be.

Hi,

hm, not sure what is goign on here.
I have the lvm package not installed so this should not be the reason.
I also noticed that this is not happening every boot, sometimes the service only consumes 400ms, sometimes 4s.
It also does not seem to follow a pattern.
Very strange. Well, I will mask this service and see that happens.
