Hi Folks,
A new release of BeleniX is now available. This is mainly a
performance tweak and bugfix release:
1) Developed a new file sorting algorithm to process the DTrace output.
This has resulted in boot time reductions of upto 20 seconds. The
algorithm tries to identify contention regions using a sliding window
mechanism and arranges file data to be placed closes to those regions.
More details at http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/moinakg/20060426
2) Changed the dependency of Xserver to now wait for sshd to
complete loading. As both Xserver and sshd do some heavy I/O at
startup they were competing for CDROM access (as per the DTrace
output). This change has reduced boot time by upto 20 seconds.
3) A major website redesign thanks to Ananth Shrinivas
(Ananth (dot) Shrinivas (_at_) gmail (dot) com)
4) Bugfixes.
And more. See www.belenix.org for details.
Regards,
Moinak.
