lotuspsychjei know a server guy that hammered those for weeks 24/706:23
lotuspsychjeand never been able to break06:23
baizonyeah, i think Samsung SSDs are the best currently06:23
lotuspsychjeyes they are06:23
lotuspsychjebaizon: you installed preload?06:23
lotuspsychje!info preload06:24
ubot5preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (wily), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB06:24
baizonno, should i?06:24
lotuspsychjeyes sir06:24
lotuspsychjemakes it even rocketfaster06:24
baizonreally?06:25
lotuspsychjeyes06:25
lotuspsychjepreloads programs before you start06:25
baizonjust install, or do i need to edit some confs?06:25
lotuspsychjenop just install and reboot (again lol)06:25
baizonit works for every hard drive right?06:26
baizonnot only ssd06:26
lotuspsychjeyes06:26
lotuspsychjei also tweak my fstab for ssd use06:26
lotuspsychjewith the 'relatime' option06:26
lotuspsychjeand swappiness to 1006:27
baizonok, thanks will take a look into that06:27
lotuspsychjeim planning to start an ubuntu business laptops/desktops/phones with only 850 pro06:27
lotuspsychjethis year06:28
baizon=)06:28
baizonlotuspsychje: why swappiness 10?06:33
lotuspsychjebaizon: ssd takes a lot of work over for your system, so default 60 is best change to 1006:34
lotuspsychjebaizon: same for firefox cache, set to 0 so your ssd takes over06:34
baizon"Ubuntu 8.04 and later uses relatime as default for linux native file systems", so do i need to set it or not?06:38
lotuspsychjebaizon: i recommend it yes06:38
lotuspsychjein your fstab06:38
lotuspsychjerelatime works best for ssd on desktop06:38
baizonok let me get into that too06:39
lotuspsychjebaizon: anf tmpfs adds on fstab also06:39
lotuspsychjelemme find a link for that06:39
lotuspsychjetmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,size=15%,mode=1777 0 006:40
lotuspsychjetmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,size=10%,mode=1777 0 006:40
lotuspsychjehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/78971/best-etc-fstab-setings-for-boosting-ssd-hdd06:40
lotuspsychjebut for the fstab line itself, no discard just 'relatime'06:41
lotuspsychjeand ubuntu does the auto trim itself, so thats good already06:42
lotuspsychjeyoul be like a rocket next reboot :p06:42
baizonok swappiness changed06:43
lotuspsychjegreat06:43
baizonbut is it also useful to change it on a HDD?06:44
lotuspsychjebaizon: the fstab tweaks no06:45
lotuspsychjebetter ssd only06:45
baizoni mean the swappiness06:45
lotuspsychjeswappiness also rather when have an ssd06:46
baizonok06:46
lotuspsychjepreload can be used safely for both06:46

lotuspsychjehey BluesKaj12:36
lotuspsychjewb baizon17:02
baizonlotuspsychje: changed swappiness to 10, relatime is on by default on ubuntu, so i didnt had to change it17:05
lotuspsychjereally?17:05
lotuspsychjedidnt notice on xenial yet17:05
baizonlotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/15416047/17:07
lotuspsychjecool tnx17:07
baizonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHevtrA6ZIs17:09
lotuspsychjelets c17:11
lotuspsychjelool17:11
lotuspsychjebaizon: is that you?17:11
baizonlotuspsychje: noooo17:17
lotuspsychjechuuu chuuu17:17
daxrelatime's been default in Ubuntu since at least 10.0417:25
lotuspsychjeoh really?17:25
lotuspsychjei think ive been tweaking on trusty noatime?17:26
daxand has been default in the kernel since 2.6.30 so yeah17:26
lotuspsychjelemme check here17:26
daxnoatime vs. relatime is pretty insignificant performance-wise. i set noatime anyway, but it's not that useful17:27
lotuspsychjedax: lotuspsychje@R00TB0X:~$ mount | grep sda17:28
lotuspsychje./dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)17:29
lotuspsychjeno relatime here17:29
daxbecause relatime is part of defaults, so it's not listed explicitly17:29
lotuspsychjedax: but on xenial now its listed by default then?17:29
daxi have no idea what xenial does. i imagine it'd show up if you put it in fstab, but not sure17:30
dax(and that'd be redundant anyway, since it's already set by default)17:30
lotuspsychjeright17:30
lotuspsychjedax: you wont be knowing where ubuntu stores that exactly?17:30
daxkernel defaults are stored in-kernel. i don't know how ubuntu generates fstabs.17:31
lotuspsychjekk17:31
daxbut yeah, this has all been irrelevant since linux version 2.6.30 sooooo17:31
daxyeah, looks like it shows up in mount if relatime's in fstab, i just found a system here that's set up that way17:32
lotuspsychjedax: but what a bout on ubuntu fstab where it still shows noatime?17:32
daxnoatime's completely different, it's not set by default upstream17:32
lotuspsychjeok well good when dont need to tune that for ssd then17:33
lotuspsychjeauto trim and auto relatime :p17:34
daxbasically, 1) filesystems have been mounted using relatime by default by linux unless told to do otherwise since 2.6.30, 2) Ubuntu started putting relatime in fstab by default at some point, and this became redundant when ubuntu started using 2.6.30, 3) noatime is infinitessimally better than relatime on normal workloads but seems to work fine for me so i set it anyway17:34
daxanyways, meeting time in real life, be back later17:34
lotuspsychjeok17:34
