Yes. So you booted with profile, and it now makes sure all files your boot sequence reads are read early in memory. That's exactly what it *does* -- Readahead is overenthusiasic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, wh

It sounds like you've booted with "profile" at some point; that will rewrite your /etc/readahead files. ** Changed in: readahead (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- Readahead is overenthusiasic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261426 You received this bug notification because you are
