[gentoo-user] openrc - parallel start - timeouts

["J. Roeleveld" <joost@antarean.org>]

Hi All,

To improve the bootup time of my server, I want to enable "parallel", however, 
I run into an issue where some of the services take longer than 60 seconds to 
start, causing this to be classed as "not started", which then kills the 
entire boot sequence.

Boot, obviously, goes fine with parallel off, but I am certain I can reduce the 
boot time significantly using parallel. I also spent quite some time checking 
dependencies between the services to ensure they are all present.

Now, how do I configure a longer timeout? Preferably on a per-service basis, 
but at the very least, globally.

Many thanks in advance,

Joost
