The arguments in favor of systemd remind me of something:
First, the hook: Boot times are increasing! Second, the fix: Systemd will solve all our problems! Third, close discussion: The technology is "settled", deal with it and stop whining. Forth, vilify dissenters: Systemd deniers are evil and must be cast out of the community!
In both cases, the "hook" is a false premise to justify otherwise objectionable remedies to problems that don't exist.
Boot times increasing? Get rid of indirect booting. I boot a server in about half the time systemd takes -- boot directly from the hard drive w/o a ram disk. 15 seconds for the kernel to hit the boot scripts, and another 15 seconds for all services to come up and the login prompt displayed. 25% of that is just getting all the disk space mounted. Boot times are not increasing (as you note -- a false premise, and systemd doesn't lead to shorter boot times. If systemd can't deliver on shorter boot times, why do people believe it will deliver on anything else? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
