How to Migrate Ext2/Ext3 File Systems to Ext4 on Linux
Author: amanda •
Tags: centos, debian, fedora, linux, mandriva, opensuse, suse, ubuntu •
Comments: 2 The Linux file systems Ext2 and Ext3 have now gone outdated. It is the time to convert the old file systems to the latest one, EXT4. The Ext4 filesystem is faster and more reliable than the previous versions. You dont have to reinstall the system; you can simply convert your existing file system to EXT4 by keeping the stored data unaffected.

Comments: 15 Swappiness is the kernel parameter that defines how much (and how often) your Linux kernel will copy RAM contents to swap. This parameter's default value is “60” and it can take anything from “0” to “100”. The higher the value of the swappiness parameter, the more aggressively your kernel will swap.

How to defrag your Linux system
Author: Bill Toulas •
Tags: arch linux, debian, fedora, linux, ubuntu •
Comments: 16 There is a common misconception among GNU/Linux users that our systems never ever need to be defragmented. This stems from the success of the journalized filesystems used by most distributions including EXT2,3 and 4, JFS, ZFS, XFS, ReiserFS and BTRFS. Fragmentation though can still be an issue though, especially for users that use space limited disks that may not offer many file allocation options.
