Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ureadahead
On my system, ureadahead created pack files for
- /var/* (I use tmpfs for /var/lock, /var/run and /var/tmp)
- /home (Which is especially bad, since my /home is encrypted and thus security
is compromised)
Of course, most file names stored in home.pack are pretty predictable,
so attackers don't gain much by knowing home.pack. Still, I'd prefer if
this file was not present..
Please
- Extend ureadahead with the ability to ignore certain directories (sth.
similar to /etc/updatedb.conf?)
- Ignore dm-crypt'ed partitions by default
