live-config is too slow. Needs re-factoring! about webc HOT 5 CLOSED

Tbh, I'm thinking it's taking the most time with the git mount.

For example looking at http://ix.io/iIk

Somewhere between here:

Sep 07 03:48:13 webconverger live-config[275]: Fixing webc home
Sep 07 03:48:20 webconverger live-config[275]: + [ true = true ]

We lost seven seconds!!

However looking at the next wastes of time...

Sep 07 03:48:20 webconverger live-config[275]: + echo [2015-09-07 03:48:20] live-config: /lib/live/config/0010-debconf

to

Sep 07 03:48:26 webconverger live-config[275]: + /lib/live/config/9990-hooks

We lost 6 seconds. These seem to be skipping over /lib/live/config/ elements we don't use.

from webc.

I've since discovered that components=gitfs or live-config.components=gitfs is all we need.

However I don't like the idea of appending yet another command to https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/blob/master/etc/webc/boot-cmdline

(In future) can we do away with:

• boot=live
• skipconfig

from webc.

What does components=gitfs do? Never seen that before?

If you remove boot=live, I think the live-part of the initrd will not run, which is responsible for mounting git-fs and the overlay filesystem?

from webc.

components=gitfs just runs https://github.com/Webconverger/webc/blob/master/lib/live/config/0005-gitfs

Nevermind my boot=live comment for now. Not sure why that can't be built into the initrd or something.

Fixed blame looks like: http://ix.io/kEP 😀 ✋
