Is fast bootup a priority for other Fedora server admins?
Sure they are interested, but the primary goal to start only really required services, I think. Lowering the startup times overall is good for everyone.
I know this may be an exercise in futility on popular server-class hardware where the BIOS takes an inordinate time finding its boots. :-( But when we run server clusters on cheap/desktop-grade hardware, the added few seconds is quite significant for HA scenarios.
I've submitted a few bugs/patches that shave off a few more seconds on a minimalist f10 setup.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/327661 - net optional BLINDSTART skips arping http://bugzilla.redhat.com/327651 - postfix smart newaliases http://bugzilla.redhat.com/475101 - ipmi high-res sleep for udev
Time to prompt is reduced from 19s to 12s here. And no more large steps/delays appear in bootchart. Should these block FedoraServerTracker?
In my opinion they can.
