Re: Disk access is slowing my Eee PC
don't know if this will help you; I never had swap, but now I've set noatime on mounts and Fx cache to 0MB. maybe after 5 years from now (at least) they finally invent direct controlling of flash and flash-optimized filesystem. flash drives should be MUCH faster that hard drives, but they had to emulate hard drives... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Disk access is slowing my Eee PC
I've successfully installed FreeBSD 7-STABLE on my Eee PC 900. Just one problem. Quite regularly the machine becomes unresponsive. I asume because of something reading from or writing from the SSD, because it always happens when the disk activity indicator is lit and it stops immediately when it's turned off again. Sometimes it lasts as long as 20-30 seconds, just when using Firefox, OOo or similar. Any ideas on how to deal with this? And just as interresting; what's the cause? just an idea (i don't have EEE so it's ideas) - EEE simulates IDE drive through flash just like USB drives, adding mapping layer to simulate 512 byte sectors writes and to prevent flash wornout. this is VERY inefficient for random writes on USB flashdrives, and possibly here too. as long as NAND flash chips won't be directly accessible, and some flash-designed filesystem will be writted it will be like that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

any kind of problems; I use mineone for writing stuff and reading with KDE's konqueror, as well without any issues; the installation was done in both cases follwing this guide: http://www.unixarea.de/installEeePC.txt just a comment - with 7.x it would be much better to make /tmp as tmpfs - it will then take only as much memory as needed. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
