Read required files in advance during boot

sreadahead is a daemon that reads data sequential by use from disk. It does this by retrieving the read order (in timestamp format) from an actual boot sequence and storing a list of data that was read during that boot sequence in a flat database.

On the next boot this file can be used to load all the data described in the database into memory and in order of use.

sreadahead requires a kernel patch included in the Ubuntu kernel, and (currently) only works on ext3, allthough it is possible to develop support other filesystems.
