Speeding up your system...

[Husse]

It's basically the same as in

which is a sticky in "General help"
I strongly advice against speeding up the file system just to get a small performance boost at the prize of a large loss in security

Yeah i found this out a wee while ago but basically the CONCURRENCY=shell part caused major issues with HAL and Gnome-Volume-Manager in both 7.10 and Mint Daryna (no surprise there).

That's one that caused USB ports not to work, had problems mounting drives, loads of problems took me a wee while to figure out that was the issue. So i imagine the above wifi card is probably related, either via HAL or the wifi card might be on a USB based one

Anyway 2 cents worth, there you go guys

oh yeah this was only tried on two laptops, i've not tried that on a desktop, so i couldn't say if you'd get the same issue. If you have done it and you are getting problems just set it back to CONCURRENCY=none

I would just caution you about jumping into some of these magical speed-ups without understanding what they are doing and what the implications are on down the line. If it is a play machine, that is one thing. If it is a machine you depend on you might want to be a bit cautious.

Here is a thread about a couple other speed-ups.
