AFAICT the patch is not applied to Linus' git tree yet. If applying it is/was under discussion, could you link to the mailing list thread? AFAICT it isn't applied to Debian's linux-source-2.6.33 version 2.6.33-1~experimental.4, either. It looks like Ubuntu adopted it, and it was useful for SSDs: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2009-March/027726.html But it appears to be superseded by ureadahead: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/sreadahead http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ureadahead https://launchpad.net/ureadahead ...which is an Ubuntu fork of sreadahead? The last change to sreadahead was Apr 2009, the ureadahead changes range from Oct 2009 to Nov 2009. Both require a kernel patch. FWIW, Fedora's readahead is being actively modified as at Mar 2010 (last month). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
