[Merge] lp:~rsalveti/ubuntu/maverick/ureadahead/fix-600359 into lp:ubuntu/maverick/ureadahead

[Evan Broder]

You have been requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~rsalveti/ubuntu/maverick/ureadahead/fix-600359 into lp:ubuntu/maverick/ureadahead.

Changing ureadahead initscript to avoid running ureadahead at systems with less than 512 MB of ram.

This is needed because ureadahead sets the tracing buffer to 128MB, and at a system with small amount of memory (Beagleboard) this can cause the boot to call the OOM, killing ureadahead and plymouthd.

Check bug 600359 for more details.

I decided to change only the initscript, instead of adding this restriction to the ureadahead code, because then the user can still run and test it if needed.

I also tried different memory thresholds, but didn't change the boot speed when comparing different bootcharts for BeagleBoard, so I just decided to avoid running it in this case.
