Comment 46 for bug 523484

I'm currently running 11.10 and worked around the problem by copying /var/lib/ureadahead to / and the pointing a /var/lib/ureadahead symlink to /ureadahead both in the /var partition and from the root partition (accessed using the bind mount trick in comment 17). Now, when I next I'll get to see if it actually made any difference. I should know something by August!
