[arch-general] poll: udev uevents settle wait time
Hello list, I have recently seen the new feature of the initscripts, where the waiting time for uevents settling is being reported. So since we are all interested in booting speed, what are the times being reported for your computer? Let me start with a P3 800MHz I have running arch. Normal wait time: ~11.5s acpi=off wait time: ~5s What about yours? Dimitris

Hi, as a first time poster, please note bottom posting -; and Arch noob of 1 year (and loving it) I find that uevents takes 2 seconds to process on boot. Just as a matter of interest I changed from Reiserfs to JFS filesystems on /boot, swap, / and /home and they flash by in about 1 second on boot. When I had Reiserfs they took a long time to check. I don't know whether this is good or bad but total boot time from boot splash to log in screen including nvidia splash takes 25 seconds. I've got @ in front of most of my daemons in rc.conf. (backgrounded) System is 1.86 core 2 duo with 2 gig of ram. At last I can reply to one of the list messages. Most of them are above my head. I hope I've made sense. Thanks to all concerned for a great distro. gnu2

5500-5900ms normally.

Another arch PC I've got, a 2GHz P4 this time: Normal udev settling: ~5.5s acpi=off: ~4s It's a bit too much wasting 5s (or >10s for old PCs) just waiting, isn't it? Dimitris

It's no waste of time, the entire hardware detection and initialization is done in those 5 seconds. BTW, between 1.8 and 2.5 seconds here.

Its 7s on my 1.7GHz AMD i686 and 730ms on my x86_64 Q6600. And i dont think either is too much Greg

In virtualbox the time has got a lot longer with 2.6.25 (with 2.6.24 it was just over 20 secs on my machine, it is now over a minute).

:-O Fantastic! It's probably the slowest arch machine I 've seen... How much RAM does it have? How did you perform the installation? Are you using any desktop environment, if so how does it perform? Thanks, Dimitris

64MB, which probably can make even a speed monster slow. I use it mostly in console mode and with ssh, but also with IceWM. I am writing this with kmail, running ssh to another machine, and thus using it as a kind of X-terminal.
