Hi Andrea, * Andrea Pappacoda <[email protected]> [2023-07-16 21:35]:
One thing that is a bit less nice than schroot, though, is the inability of the unshare backend to use eatmydata to speed up package builds. Not only speed, but I also fear that continuous (and unnecessary) disk writes may degrade my disk's lifespan ever so slightly.Is there a way possible to use eatmydata with the unshare backend? So far I tried to start the build with `eatmydata sbuild`, but it doesn't seem to work. The eatmydata package is installed in the tarball.
Given enough RAM you can use a tmpfs like this: $unshare_tmpdir_template = '/dev/shm/tmp.sbuild.XXXXXXXXXX';According to my tests that was even faster then eatmydata (and adding eatmydata did not improve it.
Cheers Jochen
