Readahead lists naming convention
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{early,later}.sorted

The sorted lists are used for "fast mode" and this kind of lists has
	the greater priority for boot scripts. These lists are generated from
	custom.{early,later} or *.{early,later} lists by (for example):

readahead  --sort --output=early.sorted foo.early

To keep your lists actual you can add this command to the crontab.

custom.{early,later}

This is customised version of "full mode" lists. These lists are
	generated for your machine by readahead-collector during boot process.

To generate these lists you have to boot with:

init=/sbin/readahead-collector

Please, don't add this option to your grub.conf permanently (due to
	negative performance impact).

*.{early,later}

These are lists with the lowest priority.

Arch independent lists
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you want to distribute architecture independents lists (for example in
 src.rpm), use:

readahead-check --template=arch_spec.list --output=arch_indep.list

to convert back to arch-specific version use lists/Makefile and

make rpm-lists-rebuild FILES="default.early default.later" \
					RPM_ARCH=x86_64 RPM_LIB=lib64
