__NOTOC__
= CentOS Optimizations =
== Disk ==
In order to speedup the disk management, some values are added to each `ext3` partition on the terminal.
The reference site is located at [[http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Disk_Optimization]]
<pre><nowiki>
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,noatime,data=writeback,commit=120 1 1
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/customswap swap swap defaults 0 0
</nowiki></pre>


==== noatime ====
Don't write access time

==== data=writeback ====
The data order is not preserved when writes to disk. Just after set this value and before restart the terminal run the following command to avoid goes into read-only mode.
<pre><nowiki>
tune2fs -o +journal_data_writeback /dev/hda1
</nowiki></pre>


==== commit=120 ====
Set the time to sync data and metadata.

== Solid State Disk ==
Usually the IDE SSD are slower that the SATA SSD, and some times could even be slower than the regular IDE. To speed up a bit, we can apply the changes mentioned above, but also scheduler can be changed in the following way:

<pre><nowiki>
# echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch
</nowiki></pre>


All the other options for the scheduler can be displayed with the command
<pre><nowiki>
# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
</nowiki></pre>

but usually `noop` and `deadline` are the 2 that works well with SDD.

To make permanent this change, add the `elevator=deadline ` at the end of the kernel line in /boot/menu/grub.conf

== System ==
In `/etc/sysctl.conf` set the vualue
<pre><nowiki>
kernel.shmmax = 63554432
</nowiki></pre>

to increase ''Maximum shared segment''.

== Boot ==
Reduce boot time passing the known values to the kernel, the site that references.

==== lpj ====
Loops per jiffy can be obtained from `/var/log/messages`

==== reboot=soft ====
When reboots, the firmware will be skipped.

==== quiet ====
Doesn't log all the boot messages to the `stdout`
