* Anders Karlsson (anders@trudheim.com) [030427 22:26]: -> ->Uhm, interesting observation. Commercial Unices like AIX advice you to ->put things you want to maximise access to on the Middle of the disk ->(with things running from Inner Edge to Outer Edge). Something about ->heads moving twice over the middle of the disk in a seek from inner edge ->to outer edge and back while achieving the best combination of data ->density and rotational speed. -> We have our mail servers at work with /var/spool as slice 0 and the preformance increase was dramatic so I figured that I would put /opt as slice 0 on my home machine when I did the fresh install of 8.2 to just to see if it would make a difference. I see quite a difference. Although I don't know if it's that in combination with using ext3 this time instead of ReiserFS. I may partition as I use to do when I install 8.2 at work and see if it's putting /opt as slice 0 or the use of ext3 that gave such a speed increase. Should be interesting. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.
