[arch-general] GPT slower than MBR, although both are properly aligned?
by Karol Babioch 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Hi, I'm about to setup a new Arch box and wanted to use GPT instead of the (old) MBR partition scheme, just for the fun of it ;). I've read through the various articles in the wiki, but it seems that something strange is going on here. I'm about to install the system to a SSD (Kingston S100), therefore I also have to consider proper alignment. I've created the partition scheme with gdisk (alignment set to 2048 boundary, although I've tried it with different values (up to 8192), too), which basically looks like that: Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 264191 128.0 MiB 0700 Linux/Windows data 2 264192 31277198 14.8 GiB 0700 Linux/Windows data Take a look at the start sectors, they should be properly aligned to 2048, as 264192 is dividable by 2048. In order to check the proper alignment I've run hdparm -tT over both partitions, here are the results: /dev/sda1: Timing cached reads: 12026 MB in 2.00 seconds = 6017.15 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 128 MB in 0.64 seconds = 201.56 MB/sec /dev/sda2: Timing cached reads: 12086 MB in 2.00 seconds = 6047.19 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 278 MB in 3.02 seconds = 92.02 MB/sec Quite a huge discrepancy considering the fact that a SSD should have roughly the same speed everywhere. Well, after fiddling around with it a little bit, I've finally tried the same setup with the old MBR partition scheme, using fdisk, which gave me the following partition scheme: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 264191 131072 83 Linux /dev/sda2 264192 31277231 15506520 83 Linux So the partition scheme is the same, despite the fact that the second partition is a little bit bigger with MBR as there is no copy of the partition table. With the MBR partitions I get the following results using hdparm -tT in order to measure the speed: /dev/sda1: Timing cached reads: 11578 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5793.15 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 128 MB in 0.63 seconds = 202.22 MB/sec /dev/sda2: Timing cached reads: 11896 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5952.79 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 604 MB in 3.00 seconds = 201.16 MB/sec So, both partitions are, as to be expected, equal in speed. I'm quite astonished by these results, which confuse me totally. Is it possible that GPT is slower than MBR? Is there something wrong implemented within gdisk? Is there any explanation to that? Right now the only thing I can do to get full speed is to use MBR once again :(. Best regards, Karol Babioch

[arch-general] Gnome Sound Events and Settings
by Steve Holmes 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

What tools are needed in Arch to configure the login and logout sounds for GNOME? When I go into the Volume control, I can only change the alert sounds and that, I can do OK but right now, I cannot get any sounds to work for Login, Logout, e-mail, etc. I've seen references in google for other distros having something called Sound-Preferences or something but I don't see anything like that for Arch. Google also pulled up some forum references to this same question but no answers were ever given. What do other GNOME users do about this in Arch? I'm not aware of how to specify the paths for the right files. Ifound the sound files themselves in /usr/share/sounds but can't figure out where to go from here. Any ideas?

As the compat pkg contains only the library and no development files the pkgconfig file of the libusb pkg will be used and it will tell to link to the .so.some-number and not to the .so symlink.

[arch-general] libusb-compat owns /usr/lb/libusb.so symlink
by Denis A. Altoé Falqueto 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi guys. Is that the intended purpose? I was having a problem with the mouse module from KDE system settings and discovered that I didn't have libusb-compat. When I listed its contents just to check, I saw that it is the owner of /usr/lib/libusb.so and it is pointing to /usr/lib/libusb.so.0.1.so.4.4.4. Would that make programs compiled in my machine be linked against the older libusb? Or is it harmless? -- A: Because it obfuscates the reading.

Guys, Probably not worth a bug, unless you want one filed, but the python2-qt python-opengl dependency is missing an 'o' in opengl (see e.g. python-pengl below)): New optional dependencies for python2-qt python-pengl: enable OpenGL 3D graphics in PyQt applications qscintilla: QScintilla API -- David C.
