 Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2003 11:02 pm Post subject: Technique for booting linux faster |
 |
|
This article talks about booting linux faster by starting services in parallel as much as possible. Service dependencies are used to work out when services can be started in parellel.
This should really be implemented for gentoo and half the work is already done as gentoo has a service dependency system already. |

I have done some fiddling on my own trying to change the gentoo system to parallel loading. All I learned is that my scripting skills aren't near what I thought they were. But I found this post, and someone with better scripting skills is starting to work it out

We all saw this on slashdot, so its only a matter of time before someone has an effective working rc script.

that's already there... edit /etc/conf.d/rc end you'll find:
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="no"
just turn it to "yes"  |

Thanks, that is a bit faster. I will prelink my system again and see how much of a difference that makes. |
