Italianoetching the gargoyle - post installation tuning
Final steps for my etch upgrade. On the test machine I just had to
perform two tasks to tune the system.
Filesystem tuning
I added the dir_index flag to all non volatile filesystems. The
dir_index option force the use of hashed b-trees to speed up lookups in
large directories.
$ tune2fs -O +dir_index /dev/hda1
the previous operation was repeated for all filesystems.
Old kernels removal
I used aptitude to remove any old 2.4 kernel installed on the system.
