There wasn't much to add. You provided a solution and the only reply I could |
| 9 |
come up with "Well done" would sound condescending. Which is why I decided not |
| 10 |
to. |

I don't tend to use preload. Is it usefull in a non-systemd environment? |

Maybe, if you want to group stuff you're running yourself into seperate |
| 34 |
groups. The different services are grouped already. |

What kind of warnings? Systemd already mounts the filesystem for it and starts |
| 43 |
poulating it. If your script does similar things, they might try to duplicate |
| 44 |
work? |

I think it is more useful on desktops and laptops, which get rebooted |
| 55 |
regularly. On a server that tends to run for months without a reboot, a fast |
| 56 |
init-system is important. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
And I don't really see the point of D-BUS on a server either. All the services |
| 59 |
that need to talk to each other already have working communication paths. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
I do intend to implement it on my desktop and netbook as I'd like to have |
| 62 |
those booting as fast as possible. |
