Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ureadahead
Wishlist:
I noticed that dropbox can have a significant impact on boot time. I
personally do not consider it to be essential to the boot loading experience,
but if I happen to have the daemon set to start automatically, ureadahead will
trace many files read by it. (The largest entries in my home.pack are dropbox
files.)
I can work around this issue by manually retracing with dropbox
disabled, or delay the start of it.
What happens if I play a movie right after boot?
Or transmission starts seeding a torrent while ureadahead profiles?
Will those files be included in a pack file?
Hardcoding an ignore list is not practical for every circumstance.
Maybe a config file could be read by ureadahead, with a list of rules to follow
such as ignoring files by size, extension, and path.
Another option could be to use a separate program to purge pack file
entries based on a config file.
