Server - Never
Boot time for servers do matter for systems where "uptime" is a measured amount and it matters for service contracts. So reducing the boot time from 5 minutes to 1 minute means real money for these providers and is something that everyone should be happy about.
Only if they have an SLA that mandates _severe_ penalties when not met. Have you studied any decent SLAs recently? They're often not worth the paper or screen they're written on.
Besides - a 30min outage per annum equates to an uptime of 99.998%. A boot time reduction from 5 to 1min is unlikely to make much of a dent in that, IMHO.
Actually, I'd argue that's exactly why quick boot times are important. Reducing the boot time from 5 mins to 1 min means that there are more opportunities to schedule maintenance windows and that the system can be kept patched more easily. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk16gFQACgkQLPWxlyuTD7LRZQCgpuUhSJzPgqbXlM+qGi5BCiEI bt0An0XI+E5T29pZzBk+jIhuh8L/Ig41 =n9oH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
