Thread: Boot sector, swap partition, and performance

-

i've noticed ubuntu 9.04 performs worse did ubuntu 7.04 on multiboot ubuntu/windows+ system.

swap partition problem?

when installed 7.04, had swap partition on 7200 rpm drive, , ubuntu on 10000 rpm drive. having partitions on different drive of course better, how better?

9.04, created 4 partitions on 10000 rpm drive, swap, /, /home, , /opt. should move swap partition 1 of other drives (7200rpm)?

there bit on 3gb unused in partition 1 of lesser used windows os. os gets updated av definitions, office update, , windows update, 1gb may enough this.

once move swap partition drive, should make new copy of boot sector drive on ubuntu installed. of course, copy of boot sector placed on c drive (for multibooting) using 1st 446 bytes, repartitioning should not affect anything, should it?

currently, on 10000 rpm drive, have, in terms of 512 byte sectors:
2gb: swap, 4 208 967 sectors
8gb: /, 16 787 862 sectors
8gb: /home, 16 787 862 sectors
4gb: /opt, 8 401 932 sectors

after remove 2gb, should allocate space 1 of other 3 partitions? if so, partitions?

hi,
how memory have installed? if routinely swapping disk performance going pretty poor no matter how fast drive(s). , better route explore either (a) adding more memory, or (b) reducing load (memory) required running less apps @ 1 time.

opening system monitor, actual swap usage numbers?

ATmega2560-Arduino Pin Mapping

hi community, in last days working on project using arduino mega 2560. on planning pin using found bugs in atmega2560-arduino pin mapping . if right there labels (such pwm) in 'mapped pin name' @ wrong row ( mixed pin numbers right one...) in attachment openoffice calc , pdf file corrected table. ( hope ;-) ) i post here tab separated table : code: [select] arduino mega 2560 pin mapping table atmega 2560 pin out arduino mega function nr name function function function mapped pin name function function datasheet 1 pg5 oc0b digital pin 04 pwm 2 pe0 rxd0 pcint8 digital pin 00 rx0 (usart0 receive pin, programming data input or pin change interrupt 8) 3 pe1 txd0 digital pin 01 tx0 (usart0 transmit pin or programming data output) 4 pe2 xck0 ain0 (usart0 external clock  input/output) 5 pe3 oc3a ain1 digital pin 05 pwm 6 pe4 ...

Crossfader Arduino Tutorial

-
hello i'm super newb please don't bash me much. i'm using led's , i've connected them correctly (finally) , wondering why program here ( http://www.arduino.cc/en/tutorial/colorcrossfader ) doesn't work? say's haven't declared crossfade. read directions on top , said crossfade needs used list order of colors. isn't declared in main part (void loop() )? or need declared before? nevermind void on bottom , needed before voidloop. lol anyways playing rgb led's wondering if has specific way of making them fade in , out different colors? (brightness , color mixing) code: [select] /* * code cross-fading 3 leds, red, green , blue (rgb) * create fades, need 2 things: *  1. describe colors want displayed *  2. list order want them fade in * * describing color: * color array of 3 percentages, 0-100, *  controlling red, green , blue leds * * red red led @ full, blue , green off *   int red = { 100, 0, 0 } * dim white 3 l...
