Package: readahead-fedora
Version: 2:1.5.6-4
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


looking at `/etc/default/readahead-fedora` there is the following
option.

        # enable to run readahead in the background instead of blocking
        # useful for SSDs
        #RUN_IN_BACKGROUND="yes"

What are the advantages and disadvantages? Why is it only useful on
SSDs? Are there some indicators on some log output when I might need to
enable that option?

Could the comment be extended or the option documented in
`README.Debian`? That would be awesome!


Thanks,

Paul
