Two weeks ago, my SSD had been broken due to the "Invalid node structure" error. I cannot fix it by using fdisk_hfs. Then I have to format and re-install, but got another error: "Install Failed: OS X could not be installed on your computer. OS X can't be installed on the disk because a recovery system can't be created. Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more"
Visit that article, then resize the partition and try again but nothing changes.
There is no other way, I have to bring it to the warranty service. They said they replaced my SSD with a new one. But now my Mac boot quite slow:
– 10s from console to Apple logo
– 30s from Apple logo to login window
It used to boot in ~ 11, 12s, the login window seems appear immediatly after Apple logo.

So, I have some questions:
-
Is there any way to make sure that my SSD has been replaced?
-
I would like to know what does it actually do from Apple logo to login window?

The reason is after getting my laptop from the warranty service, I changed the computer name and the user name. So, I guess that I also have to update it in Open Directory (maybe in /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/), right?
Best Answer
This site works best when using one question at the time, so the answers can be found by others for specific topic, but lets make a exception.
Your problem might be somewhere else (so we need your Console report for that) but to answer your questions:
1- Is there any way to make sure that my SSD has been replaced?
Short of opening the computer and looking at the label on the disk, from outside only way to tell is if you saved the previous UUID and compare it to this SSD in About this Mac.
2- I would like to know what does it actually do from Apple logo to login window?
It starts by finding the boot sector, then it activates the EFI (the boot loader) for OS files, after that it loads the user profile settings and apps.
There is a very good description here.
