[Holger Levsen] Readahead works for me on etch since I upgraded to 2.6.22-4, still using 1.20060421.1016-1~bpo+40+1 I've reported this in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=465273#25 I know, but I have a hard time to believe that readahead-watch is able to store its pid file

[Holger Levsen] After the one profiling I have done, I immediatly rebootet the computer after logging in. /etc/readahead/boot was updated, /etc/readahead/profile not. I believe the explanation is here. The shutdown killed readahead-watch, and not the boot. So you got readahead for the files

tags 465273 + patch thanks I tested this issue in Lenny, and am sure the problem is non-writable /var/run/ at the very start of the boot. The mv to move the pid file fail, and setting RAMRUN=yes solve it. This patch should solve the issue, by moving the pid file to /lib/init/rw/, and should get

[Julian Andres Klode] Does not seem to conform to FHS, and could break Ubuntu. I have not checked it, though. You are correct. I was unable to convince the debian developers that we needed to make /var/run/ a tmpfs to make sure it was writable at the very start of the boot (as Ubuntu has

[Holger Levsen] I'm running a etch system, with a 2.6.21-2 from bpo, and selfmade readahead and usplash backports. Does this kernel have inotify support? I believe that is the kernel feature used by readahead for profiling, and it was added after the 2.6.18 etch kernel. Do not remember
