To clarify, the function of ureadahead is to load files used by the boot process into memory (disk cache) before they are needed by the boot process. Specifically, it is used to increase the speed of reading files from the disk. Log files in /var/log are not read from the disk during the boot process, they are only written to. So there is no value in caching them with ureadahead, and in fact there can be a very significant performance penalty if the logs are large. Removing /var/log from ureadahead is the point of bug 559525, so it is a valid duplicate in this case. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 559525 Trace should ignore files in /var/log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998695 Title: Ureadahead try to read missing log files, then Fail to read compressed log files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/+bug/998695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
