Hi
Any experience out there on concurrent startup on Intrepid / innserv?
I just moved to Intrepid 8.10 from Gutsy (clean install) on my dual-core laptop and things going real well. I had concurrent startup setup on Gutsy (concurrency=shell in init.d/rc along with some fixes for 7.10) and it worked. Now I want to do on 8.10 and i read the following in the std rc script - basically warning that init scripts need to be in correct sequence and pointing you to innserv package
# Specify method used to enable concurrent init.d scripts.
# Valid options are 'none', 'shell' and 'startpar'. To enable the
# concurrent boot option, the init.d script order must allow for
# concurrency. This is not the case with the default boot sequence in
# Debian as of 2008-01-20. Before enabling concurrency, one need to
# check the sequence values of all boot scripts, and make sure only
# scripts that can be started in parallel have the same sequence
# number, and that a scripts dependencies have a earlier sequence
# number. See the insserv package for a away to reorder the boot
# automatically to allow this.
CONCURRENCY=none
I do not know id the std 8.10 rc scripts are correctly sequenced - do you?
Checking the inserv website http://packages.debian.org/unstable/misc/insserv warns as follows:
This utility reorders the init.d boot scripts based on dependencies given in scripts' LSB comment headers, or in override files included in this package or added in /etc/insserv.
This package should be used with care, as incorrect or missing dependencies can lead to an unbootable system.
Anybody used innserv or know how to setup concurrency??
Cheers
