How To Profile

1. Установите пакет bootchart-logger. Это можно сделать с помощью команды urpmi bootchart-logger.
2. Перезагрузите компьютер.
3. Нажмите клавишу «F2» в окне загрузчика GRUB и добавьте init=/sbin/bootchartd к параметрам ядра.
4. После загрузки проверьте, что /var/log/bootchart.tgz был успешно создан и содержит файлы журналов.

Создание диаграммы

Создать диаграмму можно двумя способами:

1. Загрузите свой файл /var/log/bootchart.tgz на www.bootchart.org/download.html (Renderer Web Form section).
2. Установите пакет bootchart и создайте диаграмму загрузки с помощью команды bootchart /var/log/bootchart.tgz.

Более подробную информацию можно найти на сайте www.bootchart.org.

Trial Results

Put the results you've had on your system here, describing:

1. Аппаратное обеспечение
2. Службые, которые запускались he services that were running (в случае, если состояние системы отличается от только что установленной)
3. The amendments you've applied to improve time of successive boot processes
4. Time results for each trial

To ease comparisons, it would be best to do your first test with a fresh basic installation, without modifying anything.

Ideas to improve Boot Time

• iptables/shorewall takes about 6 seconds ([How can I speed up start (restart)?])
• harddrake takes 5 seconds at every boot => automatically activate harddrake service only when system detects new hardware before rebooting.
• Add boot image [kernel name]-New_Hardware. When this boot image is selected, HardDrake/other hardware detection software runs. Otherwise skip the hw detection.
• KDE Performance Tips (How to turn off system configuration startup check (kbuildsycoca) in Mandrakelinux 10.1?) (GregorP)
• Run some services in background.
• Start services xfs & dm sooner.
• Use prelink.
• Use dash instead of bash.
• Start CUPS later in the boot process; it's rarely needed before login.
• Start gpm later in the boot process
• Add readahead support
• Optimise file layout on disk (e.g. with a set aside partition)
• Integrate highly experimental Ubuntu patches (hacked up xorg loader, hotplug changes)
• Take a look on what Ubuntu is doing regarding Faster Boot (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/FasterBootProcess)
• Parallelization of startup scripts -- NOW IMPLEMENTED AS DEFAULT
• Consider finit (http://helllabs.org/finit/)
