Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #306367, revision 18 Title: Boot fast (not just faster) openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Stephan Kulow (coolo) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We need a feature to track the many little pieces needed to make booting fast. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Everyone loves fast boot. Other distributions claim to maintain the crown. Discussion: #1: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-04-16 15:44:32) Didn't mean to save the feature yet, sorry. I meant to add: We need a feature to track the many little pieces needed to make booting fast. #3: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) (2009-08-29 15:25:03) Working suspend > fast boot. #4: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-09-07 14:00:07) we boot faster, many testers noted that. If we boot fast enough to ship is up to PM #5: Ulises Vega (usvatechdev) (2009-10-25 19:07:28) Hello, I've read over the comments in https://features.opensuse.org/305326. I'm able to contribute to this feature and not only able but eager of. I'm not a Linux expert but more of a fan with some coding experience :), I'm might need some guidance and ramp up time. Please tell me where to take this discussion to so that I can start getting involved practically. I believe we should follow "a tackle the very root of all evil", if possible. But it is still to be discussed the specific approach to be followed. Thanks for your help. Ulises #6: Roman Bysh (romanator) (2010-01-25 00:05:13) Let's starts asap for 11.3 and get it perfected by the time openSUSE 12.0 milestones are available. #7: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-25 12:40:17) bash is a little bloated, and everybody knows it. That is where one should probably start. + #8: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-25 12:48:28) + Oh on another note, some kernel modules were compiled-in in newer + kernels (such as ext3). IMHO, the idea is good, but I cannot agree with + a number of =y/=m choices that have been done in config/x86_64/default, + and the it seems that the discussion we had on the mailing list did not + really get anywhere, because people insisted that "oh let's include + PIIX=y because that's "common"" (this has reverted as of late, but I'm + just saying). + + CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=m should be =y (heavily used, by libata and USB) + + CONFIG_ATA=m should be =y (used by, well, ATA devices which I guess + many have) + + CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y should be =m (thanks, but I am running ext4/xfs and + don't want to waste for ext3). + + And so on. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306367
