Description

This test case helps you generate and upload boot speed data when booting with your usual set of services.

Ensure Bootchart is installed according to these instructions
Ensure the readahead package is installed, with yum or the graphical package manager
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/readahead and change READAHEAD="yes" to READHEAD="no" if it is currently set to yes
Reboot the system
Log in, then run this command (from your home directory, or from a specially created directory if you want to keep things tidy): cp /var/log/bootchart.tgz ./Bootchart-head -n1 /etc/sysconfig/hw-uuid-myservices.tgz
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/readahead and change READAHEAD="no" to READHEAD="yes" if it is currently set to no
Reboot, then as soon as the system is fully booted, reboot again
Log in, then run this command (from your home directory, or from a specially created directory if you want to keep things tidy): cp /var/log/bootchart.tgz ./Bootchart-head -n1 /etc/sysconfig/hw-uuid-myservices-ra.tgz.

Two different sets of boot speed data should be generated and saved with unique file names.
