Package: readahead
Version: 1:1.20060421.1016-6
Severity: normal
I was having problems profiling my boot. I would get a bunch of "no
space left on device" messages when udev was starting up (in spite of
the fact that I don't have any full devices) and most importantly, it
would somehow screw up the new hal/xorg rediculousness so that my mouse
and keyboard didn't work once I got to the login screen.
I determined that the problem was that I was exceeding my maximum number
of inotify watches (8192 by default I believe). I got things working again
by adding
echo 65535 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
at the beginning of the profiling if clause in
/etc/init.d/readahead. I'm sure there's a less hackish way to do this,
but it would probably be a good idea to increase the max user watches
during profile.

Description:
readahead - read files into the page cache
Closes: 535003 538174 548071
Changes:
readahead-list (1:1.20060421.1016-7) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add dpkg triggers to do a profile run when a new init.d script is
installed or a new module is installed into /lib/modules/ (Closes:
#548071).
* Make sure to increase inotify max_user_watches when profiling, to
avoid running out of inotify entries (Closes: #538174).
* Use start-stop-daemon argument -I instead of depending on ionice
to set io nice level (Closes: #535003). Patch from Raphael Geissert.
* Always schedule a profile run on the next reboot after the package is
installed, and remove debconf code to make it possible to preseed
such run now that it is the default.
