Package: readahead Version: 1:1.20060421.1016-6 Severity: normal
I was having problems profiling my boot. I would get a bunch of "no space left on device" messages when udev was starting up (in spite of the fact that I don't have any full devices) and most importantly, it would somehow screw up the new hal/xorg rediculousness so that my mouse and keyboard didn't work once I got to the login screen. I determined that the problem was that I was exceeding my maximum number of inotify watches (8192 by default I believe). I got things working again by adding echo 65535 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches at the beginning of the profiling if clause in /etc/init.d/readahead. I'm sure there's a less hackish way to do this, but it would probably be a good idea to increase the max user watches during profile.
