I set it to 3.
It looks like this now. I’m quite satisfied. This is to be expected, as there are many disks/RAIDs attached.

Normally, pacnew is automatically detected by the hook, so I don’t think it’s likely that it’s overlooked, but you may be right.I am occasionally senile.
I’ve been using this script for about a year now. Thank you.

According to my notes from 6 months ago about boot times.
In my case, this seems to have reduced the time by about 50 seconds since then.
From selecting grub menu and hitting enter, to the time the desktop screen appears.
About 29 seconds.
Amazing.
