[Bug 523484] Re: ureadahead requires /var on root filesystem

[rollercoaster]

The fix linked in #29 is better and easier. I don't like to have variable files on / . Thats why we use seperate /var partitions ;)
This is the change to the upstart conf:
sudo sed -i 's+^start on starting mountall+start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/var+' /etc/init/ureadahead.conf

@Alf Gaida
heretic question: is ureadahead installed in Ubuntu Server? ;)

But I'm also very disappointed of 10.04. It should not be called LTS, it
should be called "Unsupported". I think we can wait until "zappy zebra"
for this to be fixed.

Title:
  ureadahead requires /var on root filesystem

Status in über-readahead:
  Invalid
Status in “ureadahead” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have the following mountpoints defined that use different
  partitions:

  /
  /boot
  /home
  /opt
  /usr
  /var

  These nodes are located on different partitions to enable greater control over the system and prevent unusable states.
  ureadahead.conf uses the following event:
    start on starting mountall
  Which fails for me since /var is not yet mounted when mountall starts leading to ureadahead errors about missing pack files.

  ureadahead-other.conf in turn uses
    start on mounted DEVICE=[/UL]* MOUNTPOINT=/?
  I have yet to find out what that means but I see that ureadahead-other is terminated with error status 4 (i.e. no pack file)

  I think that ureadahead configuration files should be ready for such kind of layout.
  I have fixed the first item by rewriting the rule as start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/var but I don't know what to do with second item.
