Idea #8301: profile boot automatically

bug This idea was marked as implemented the 11 June 10.
Written by drinkypoo the 9 May 08 at 19:26. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: Implemented
Rationale
The user should be able to select automatic boot profiling. The profile system should be able to detect when the system has changed sufficiently to make it worth running it again. The system should verify with the user the next time they perform a reboot (or perhaps a shutdown) that the system will be profiled on the next boot. It should especially be done any time the system must be rebooted for an update, since a reboot is forced anyway.

I'd like to see prefetch make it in, but until then, we have boot profiling. Why not make more intelligent use of it? Right now the user has to manually profile to gain any benefit.

Oh and, I'd like prefetch to not OOPS on XFS, which I use for my root. Thanks :)

Just one more supporting comment... it's not clear if/when prefetch will make it into Ubuntu. I asked prefetch team when/if, but have had no response. It's not on the roadmap for intrepid. If we're not going to have prefetch, we ought to have automatic (or at least assisted) profiling.
