Well I would if I could. I'm not sure why what's happening is happening
for you - I've not really seen it before. If your database is empty(ish)
then I have no idea why mnesia is taking so long to start up. Can you
monitor disk activity and CPU activity? - is the startup process
swamping lots of CPU or disk throughput as it tries to come up? Are you
running in a clustered scenario? What OS are you using - is this "in the
cloud" at all, or virtualised in some way?

Normally, with an small database, mnesia should start up very quickly
indeed, so I am puzzled as to why this timeout is occurring for you.
