True, but that is already the case now -- it is not really related to this issue or the proposed patch. The patch would fix the issue with dash, without changing any behavior as far as /proc goes. (Well, actually, bootchartd would start gathering information slightly earlier.) > Yes, if you _use_ an initrd. What about mounting the proc filesystem in > bootchartd?

It just seems too intrusive for a monitoring package. It might work fine on Debian, but there's a host of other distributions that would need to be tested. Of course, feel free to provide a patch for the Debian package that does this. But again, I don't think that's really related to this specific bug. -- Ziga
