Oct 2, 2010I've installed SuSE 11.2 onto an acer Travelmate 2310 with Windows XP. The laptop started out with three partitions -- one a small hidden acer partition, one ( C: ) the main Windows partition, and one ( D: ) to support a bios-enabled disk-to-disk backup capability. I would be able to shrink both C and D. I ran the defragmentation program four or five times against the C: partition. Each time I ran it, the program left a small moveable file at the very end of the partition. Is this file a deliberate Microsoft ploy to thwart partition shrinking? The Linux install did allow me to shrink D: to about 150 MB.
Shrinking C: was not even an option, however. Is this because the main Windows XP partition is unshrinkable? Is there any way to determine what file resides at the end of the partition? There is one minor problem with the 11.2 install. When I accept the recommended configuration then try to resize, the install program refuses to expand the Linux partitions beyond the recommended size values. I had to delete the recommended Linux partitions and recreate them manually, using expert mode. I haven't seen a bios option for disk-to-disk backup before. What will happen now that D: has shrunk to a point? I doubt that bios has access to the partition table! To be safe, I've turned the option off.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Defragmentation/Partition Creation In OS X?
Mar 30, 2011I'm trying to repartition the 60gb hd on my macbook 1,1 so that I can triple boot os x, ubuntu, and windows. When I try to repartition it all at once with diskutil resizeVolume, I get the error: "Resizing encountered error on disk disk0s2 gunton: No space left on device (2"
Everything I've found through google indicates that this means there is not enough contiguous disk space available to resize and create those partitions. I defragmented my harddrive using the online mode with idefrag, unfortunately that didn't work. I also tried boot camp to just do the windows partition first, but it says it that it cannot move system files or something, basically the same error as above.
My thought was whether or not I could either create an os x bootable cd (no dvd-r) and fully defragment it while it's offline, but a du -chs of the necessary directories was well beyond 700mb.
My next thought is the pertinent question: is there a disk defrag tool on the ubuntu live cd? if not, if i downloaded one and placed it on a usb drive, will it mount from the live cd? or is there another way to combat this partitioning problem that i'm unaware of? (i don't have an external harddrive, so i can't timemachine/reformat/restore system).

Fedora :: Does SMP Perform At Its Optimum In Intel Core I7?
Sep 19, 2009This is a general technical question about Symmetric Multiprocessing in relation to the Intel Core i7. (Actually, it's more about Hyperthreading than i7.) My understanding is that Symmetric Multiprocessing means that the operating system treats all processors as identical, and therefore it can assign a new thread to any free processor.
And that i7 appears to the OS as 8 processors, 0 thru 7. But from a performance perspective, the 8 processors are not identical, because each core has 1 execution engine plus the ability to store the state of 2 threads. This is, as far as I understand it, the essence of Intel's Hyperthreading. So each execution engine can quickly switch between 2 threads without bothering the OS, but only one thread at a time actually executes.
Suppose, for example, all processors are idle and the OS assigns one thread to processor 0, then has a second thread to assign. Since all free processors are considered identical, the OS could assign the second thread to any free processor, say 1. The result would be that both threads are competing for the same execution engine, while the other 3 cores remain idle. Is my understanding of SMP correct?
If so, does linux SMP take full advantage of Intel Hyperthreading (which existed also in earlier Intel processors)? That is, does linux SMP assign threads in such a way that it attempts to choose an idle execution engine? I don't know what algorithm SMP actually uses to choose the processor. For example, it could be the first free processor, or any free processor chosen at random.How about Windows? How does it handle the situation?
Edit: I have also posted this question in linuxforums and phoronix forums. I hope this doesn't count as cross-posting, since those forums are not on this site and they have different readership. If it is indeed cross-posting, please let me know and I will avoid doing it in future.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: File Operations Take 15 To 30 Seconds?
May 16, 2010Sometimes while using Open Office, trying to open a file the dialog box takes 15 to 30 seconds of spinning balls until it shows me anything. Then changing a directory takes another 15 to 30 seconds. Visual feedback on selections take several seconds, and often I find myself a couple of subdirectories down from where I wanted to go due to caching of unacknowledged clicks.
My system is usually very, very fast, as one would expect from the specs. This problem happened, well, almost all the time with kernel 2.6.32-21-generic, now it just started happening again with 2.6.32-22-generic.During these slowdowns, opening Dolphin reveals the same problem, exceedingly slow response. While this is happening, top shows the system is not busy, and the hard disk light is not flashing. Idle is over 90% and user and sys are basically nothing. The system is basically doing nothing while making me wait.
Ubuntu :: File Operations Is Buggy?
Sep 3, 2010Whenever I move files from a USB memory stick or external hard drive or any other such device the file only seems to transfer 99% of the data and often during moving file operations will freeze and an offer of 'force quit' will come up (although file operations will eventually vanish with the 99% of the file being moved).
Can anything be done to rectify problems with file operations?

Jan 28, 2010I have just installed Debian testing on my new desktop and I am not very happy with performance - when I perform a disk intensive operation, e.g. upgrade packages in the system, everything seems to freeze, e.g. changing tabs in Iceweasel takes 3 seconds. I run the Debian on my 3 year old Thinkpad X60 ultra-portable, and I don't have these issues. (every single parameter of the laptop is much worse than the desktop).
I am using the default packaged kernel and scripts.
I run

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Disk Operations Freeze System
Jun 19, 2010When I do some copying of files, or any background disk activity with file reading (transcoding a movie, uploading a big file to FTP, virus scanning) all computer becomes so slow, that I hardly can move my mouse, not to mention any productive use. I have SATA HDD, and Intel Quad CPU. I took measures to be sure it is not CPU or memory resource problem. Gentoo, Fedora, Windows don't freese that much on file reading. It is not a filesystem problem, or HDD, cuse I tried exactly this partition with other OSes.
Nice has a minor effect, but is is not enough, and I can't always start Nautilus with another nice level when I want to copy a file. What can I do to lower the priority of disk operations globally, and make apps to share disk thoughtput equally, not the one to occupie the disk until it finishes?

Jul 6, 2011This has been going on for a few days now... when doing anything involving an opened right-click menu in Thunar, there seems to be a chance that the entire desktop will "freeze". I can move the mouse cursor, but cannot interact with any windows. If I use ALT+CTR+F* to switch to a terminal session and switch back to the graphical session, all the windows on the desktop appear blank. The computer appears to be running normally, I just can't interact with the GUI.So far, I've just been shutting down and rebooting when this happens... any ideas on how to go about diagnosing the problem and/or regaining control of the graphical session? I am using compositing and making non-focused windows translucent, but no other actions cause the GUI session to freeze so I don't think it's just a graphical issue.

Ubuntu :: Graphical Operations (Scrolling / Moving) Slow
Jan 31, 2011On one Ubuntu desktop 10.04 I got an ati 4800 series using the proprietary drivers. All was working well until a reboot a couple of days ago.

I tried to boot from live cd with 10.04 and everything seemed ok.
View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Copying And Moving Operations And Their Performance Differences?
Oct 13, 2010[code]...
Well, let's suppose the file is very large, say 10 GB of disk space it is consuming. We perform the above steps. Which operations: cp (copying) or mv (moving) will be more efficient and less time consuming? The inode number 1566966 which was pointing to the file in my home directory is now pointing to the same file which is in some other directry, i.e. /tmp/. Isn't the inode value getting modified in some ways to point to the correct location / beginning of the data block on the hard disk? If the the physical location of the data would not change then we would not be able to free up space in our home directory. That means the mv operation is copying the file into some other location. In other words, it is also performing the cp operation first and then deleting the file from its original location, my home directory in the case above. However, when a file is copied it's inode value changes. But the mv operation is retaining the same indoe value. So, how to determine which operation - mv or cp - is more CPU-friendly or more efficient in terms of performance and time taken to perform the action?
