Recently I upgraded to debian jessie (current testing) and after that avg boot time has increased to 3-4 minutes.

Between grub and gdm start, I get this message for 2-3 minutes.

A job is running for creating volatile and temporary files and directories

Here is output of systemd-analyze blame

Once system is started, systemctl doesn't report any error.

[smit: ~] $ sudo systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup

Why is systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service starting slow? Where can I get detailed logs of systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service?

I know this is not a solution to your problem here, but you can switch to sysvinit by installing sysvinit-core. –  CameronNemo Oct 16 '14 at 21:59
    
Same problem. This seems resolve it : forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=118008#p556542 delete your /tmp recreate it chmod 1777 /tmp –  user88219 Oct 17 '14 at 10:37
    
I tried removing /tmp but it says rm: cannot remove ‘/tmp/’: Device or resource busy –  smitrp Nov 17 '14 at 14:44

This is because chrome beta and cups had issues where they created millions of files in /tmp. If /tmp is a tmpfs for you, then try unmounting it and remounting it. Otherwise, rm -rf /tmp then recreate it.

Could any downvoters please explain their reasoning? –  CameronNemo Oct 26 '14 at 20:19
    
I dont have chrome beta and I upgraded to cups 1.7.5-7 after I found that it caused similar issues. But I am still facing same problem. Also /tmp is not tmpfs. –  smitrp Nov 17 '14 at 14:51
