+Title: Parallellized boot is now the default in Debian/unstable
+Tags: english, debian, debian-edu
+Date: 2010-05-14 22:40
+
+<p>Since this evening, parallel booting is the default in
+Debian/unstable for machines where dependency based boot sequencing is
+enabled.  Apparently the testing of concurrent booting has been wider
+than expected, if I am to believe the 
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg00122.html">input
+on debian-devel@</a>, and I concluded to move forward with the feature
+now, to give us some time to detect any remaining problems before
+Squeeze is frozen.  If serious problems are detected, it is simple to
+change the default back to sequential boot.</p>
+
+More information about
+<a href="http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot">dependency
+based boot sequencing</a> is available from the Debian wiki.  It is
+currently possible to disable parallel booting by adding this line to
+/etc/default/rcS:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+CONCURRENCY=none
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>If you report any problems with dependencies in init.d scripts to
+the BTS, please usertag the report to get it to show up at
+<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=initscripts-ng-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org">the
+list of usertagged bugs related to this</a>.</p>
