= 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]]
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

==== 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.
tune2fs -o +journal_data_writeback /dev/hda1

==== 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:
# echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
# echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch

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

but usually <code>noop</code> and <code>deadline</code> are the 2 that works well with SDD.

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

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

to increase ''Maximum shared segment''.

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