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 [1]

 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
 /hpswap 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.

System

In `/etc/sysctl.conf` 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 this optimizations can be found at [2]

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`
