Less disk access at startup, or in general somehow? Optimizing for startup performance over general performance does not seem so good. But this is really about elegance rather than resource usage, right? Currently, /var/run and /var/lock on my rawhide desktop system take up 364K. 385K on another rawhide system. (Blocksize of 4k.) I think we can spare that in this day and age if we get a reasonable benefit in return. Meanwhile, NetworkManager is doing absolutely nothing for me, and is taking up a USS of 65.3M. If we're gonna tilt at memory consumption windmills, how about we take a look at that one? (NetworkManager is awesome on my _laptop_, by the way. Wouldn't dream of living without it.) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx> Senior Systems Architect -- Instructional & Research Computing Services Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
