I like this readahead concept and will probably use it a great deal but never for what someone else thinks is the best config for me :) Could we move the readahead config files from /etc into a subdirectory? Perhaps /etc/sysconfig/readahead/default/* knowing that there will be many configurations that are not going to gain an advantage by loading evolution into memory such as low memory laptops but they may want their own configs in /etc/sysconfig/readahead/lowmem/*. I don't see how these long filenames in /etc/ justify they eyesore they create in a simple ls. Half the columns are lost adjusting for readahead.early.files. A subdirectory would be more suitable. A second subdirectory, default above, would make sense for those of us not buying a 2005 Dell that will probably never gain from a default readahead but would like to make use of the interesting idea. I could picture a readahead config collection that does very different profiles based upon what the user wants at that time: /etc/sysconfig/readahead/lowmem/ /etc/sysconfig/readahead/unpowered-laptop/ /etc/sysconfig/readahead/powered-laptop /etc/sysconfig/readahead/vmware/ /etc/sysconfig/readahead/devel/ /etc/sysconfig/readahead/server/ /etc/sysconfig/readahead/common/ But most of all, please move these long filenames out of the top etc directory and into a subdirectory so those of us that like console over X11 don't projectile puke when we look in the FC /etc directory :)
There is /etc/readahead.d/ in FC6 now. I don't expect support something like "profiles" (server, laptop, ...) for readahaed.
