I am not sure this will make the install significantly faster. The current naive implementation of pagecache-management may well make the install slower as it forces each file to be written to disk before we start writing the next file. OTOH, I am sure it can make installs significantly more responsive, as it may prevent GUI code being continually swapped out. I have had cases of machines appearing to be frozen, taking several seconds to respond to any input, during installs.
I was thinking of doing something like pagecache-management.sh time cp -r /rofs /target Just to check that the policy wouldn't actively slow down the install. -- Ubiquity should advise kernel to discard pages from copied files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
