| 11 | Slow Write Speed on Live Images |
| 12 | =============================== |
| 13 | |
| 14 | In one of our previous releases (denzil), users noticed that booting off |
| 15 | of a live image and writing to disk was noticeably slower. This included |
| 16 | the boot itself, especially the first one, since first boots tend to do |
| 17 | a significant amount of writing due to certain post-install scripts. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The problem (and solution) was discovered by using the Yocto tracing |
| 20 | tools, in this case 'perf stat', 'perf script', 'perf record' and 'perf |
| 21 | report'. |
