OpenRC + bootchartd + lxc (Linux Containers)

Hi there,

For benchmarking purposes I am interested to track relative boot
speeds within Linux containers on a Gentoo system.

Initially I would like to use this to compare OpenRC with the older /
legacy rc system.

It seems that bootchartd will do this.

bootchartd start && bootchartd stop will generate the .tgz file in
/var/log, however I am not sure where to plug these in to the init
system since the default kernel command-line option for integrating
bootchart does not apply to Linux containers.

Rather than playing around and breaking things I figured I'd ask an expert :)

Any idea where to throw the start and stop commands in to the legacy
rc system without a kernel commandline?

Any gotchas?
