I had a heck of a time when I installed F10, and f10 was slow as a drugged 3 legged dog. Stable for the most part but slow. The I started getting problem reports from smartd about that disk. So I went and got another disk, and used gparted to prepare it as I wanted it to be, with a few more partitions etc with the sizing based on previous experience. I labeled them all, put ext3 journals on them, and rsync'ed them from the failing disk, and did a grub install on the new disk and fixed /etc/fstab to use label mounts as the last thing I did before a shutdown to remove the failing disk and move the new one to the sata0 jack. I had to do a boot from the install dvd in rescue mode and do the grub install again for some reason. But when I had rebooted from the dvd to the new disk, the first thing I noticed was a very obviously noticeable speedup of the system even from the boot verbosity, and now, nearly a year later, that speedup remains. But its blasphemous to pan disk destroyer in these here parts, so I keep quiet about it most of the time. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
