I found this an interesting read: * read ahead implementation dropped: in the age of SSDs the benefit is not big enough to have this. All systemd developers have SSDs and no more spinning disks, nobody could/wanted to support this anymore. The idea was to read-ahead the bits needed during the boot process and remember it next time, for faster boots. But with SSDs, this support is dropped.
Linus's approach is "as long as *somebody* is using it, we don't drop support. Systemd's approach is "we now all have SSD's so we are not going to bother with this anymore" - not a very mature or inclusive approach. am I supposed to trust my server fleet to a bunch of dev's that don't really care about the hardware I am running? I **WISH** all my servers had only SSD's, unfortunately, they are still too expensive for the amount of data we manage. very unprofessional.
