I'd put FreeBSD on ad0 for sure. /, /usr, /usr/local, /var at least. Put a swap partition on both, so the kernel stripes swap access across them both.
Then put /home on ad4. That way, OS activity happens on one disk, and user activity happens on the other. |

I've read your replay, when i already set up my system.
ok, this is what i did. Code:
/dev/ad0s1.elia 496M 51M 405M 11% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1.elid 496M 113M 343M 25% /var /dev/ad0s1.elie 6.8G 2.2G 4.0G 36% /usr /dev/ad0s3.elid 9.7G 3.9G 5.0G 44% /home /dev/ad4s1.elid 14G 82K 12G 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s4.elid 126G 47G 69G 40% /home/Archive /dev/ad4s4.elid 206G 13G 176G 7% /home/Files /dev/ad4s3.elid 2.9G 476M 2.2G 17% /usr/src /dev/ad4s3.elie 2.9G 477M 2.2G 17% /usr/ports swap on bough disk 512M each ram 2G 1) i don't want them to be dumped 2) ports are being updated frequently 3) i believe it'll increase performance when i compile them home isn't used much so i left it on slower disk. All files that are accessed most of times are in /home/Files (on SATA), here i download stuff and /home/Archive (on ide) where i keep photos and music and listening to music ain't the same as downloading torrents from local tracker (very good speed) also system is backed to /home/Files (SATA) i will probably cp 1 backup to /home/Archive once in while (just to be sure) Everything is encrypted.... Now the only thing i did wrong is i set Soft updates for /root (by accident) and now i can\t figure how to reset, that without ruing everything... i boot from flash... i guess, i need to make minimal usb pendrive bootable fbsd EDIT: I think this new setup is way better than my old one Last edited by graudeejs; 18th November 2008 at 09:10 PM. |

You should launch gstat while running performance problems and you will know which partitions are used mostly.

You may also check GJurnal, it seems to get better performance with multiple transfers then SoftUpdates.

I fixed it yesterday. I wasn't able to use tunefs on root. So i made another bootable usb-pendrive with custom kernel. and using it i attached encrypted root and turned of soft updates. |

What does this mean? also, i would appreciate if we could solve this problem When i download torrents with good speed, BSD freezes for few tenths of seconds.... I would love to find way to avoid this (without buying new, better hardware. and i know i can limit upload/download speed) The speed that shows rtorrent, is not maximum, that i can get Sometimes i can get up to 13000KB (as rtorrent shows, what it means KB/s, or Kb/s?) rtorrent uses a lot of CPU% while downloading EDIT: this is not disk encryption issue, i had it before i encrypted my drives Last edited by graudeejs; 19th November 2008 at 09:34 PM. |
