Hi Folks, A new release of BeleniX is now available. This is mainly a performance tweak and bugfix release:
1) Developed a new file sorting algorithm to process the DTrace output. This has resulted in boot time reductions of upto 20 seconds. The algorithm tries to identify contention regions using a sliding window mechanism and arranges file data to be placed closes to those regions. More details at http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/moinakg/20060426 2) Changed the dependency of Xserver to now wait for sshd to complete loading. As both Xserver and sshd do some heavy I/O at startup they were competing for CDROM access (as per the DTrace output). This change has reduced boot time by upto 20 seconds. 3) A major website redesign thanks to Ananth Shrinivas (Ananth (dot) Shrinivas (_at_) gmail (dot) com) 4) Bugfixes. And more. See www.belenix.org for details. Regards, Moinak. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
