[Bug 1446283] Re: ureadahead, set by ubuntu-standard, is not needed with systemd

[Bryan Quigley]

This is longer true with 217 and higher, as systemd implementation has been removed.
        * systemd's readahead implementation has been removed. In many
          circumstances it didn't give expected benefits even for
          rotational disk drives and was becoming less relevant in the
          age of SSDs. As none of the developers has been using
          rotating media anymore, and nobody stepped up to actively
          maintain this component of systemd it has now been removed.

Closing this bug.

Title:
  ureadahead,  set by ubuntu-standard, is not needed with systemd

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Description:

  - ubuntu vivid has set systemd as default and upstart the alternative choice
  - systemd comes with its own readahead implementation
  - ubuntu-standard install ureadahead (depends on)

  Now ubuntu-standard needs to deal with the two choices:
  - need to install ureadahead if upstart is used
  - if systemd is used, then ureadahead should be ignored

  The always ureadahead installation  push lot of unexpected flood into journalctl

  *********************************************************
  Possible solution:
  - adding ureadahead as a dependency of upstart-sysv
  - removing ureadahead as a dependency of ubuntu-standard
