Bug#580930: [SQUEEZE] add a note about parallel boot
Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist
Tags: squeeze
Hello,
If 'CONCURRENCY=makefile' is default I think it's obvious that it should
be mentioned, but I think it's also worth mentioning as a possibility
for admins to experiment with, something like (immediately following the
dependency based boot):
---
The dependency based booting also allows starting services in parallel,
which under circumstances can improve the boot speed. In order to enable
it the line:
CONCURRENCY=makefile
has to be added to /etc/default/rcS.
This feature has not been enabled for squeeze because it can prevent
some daemons from starting in specific configurations or, in some very
rare cases, even make the entire system unbootable.
---
Regards,
Andrei
