So I installed Fedora 11 recently on my ThinkPad R61, and had 560+ packages to update. Installing and cleaning the packages has been taking FOREVER. Almost several hours, I've had to stop it so often (and restart it with yum-continue-transaction) because it lags my entire system. It's all IO use too, the CPU is barely being used! I have installed a solid state drive in my laptop and it shouldn't be so slow at deleting or cleaning packages, it's doing one every 5 seconds or more. Is there some bug with SSDs and yum? (maybe python related as it seems yum is written in python?) I have no speed issues with anything else, and when I installed this drive it was a huge overall performance improvement over my 5400 RPM disk. I'm also using ext4 as it was the default, and I think a Logical Volume setup instead of a partition based one (again, default settings). What should I do? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
