The duration of defragmentation and partition sizes?

I have a computer with a 600 GB hard drive size.  I created two partitions, a 60 GB for the operating system (Windows Vista 32-bit) and the rest (540 GB) for data.  The main reason for the creation of a 60 GB OS partition was because I was worried that having that a 600 GB for the operating system and data partition would take unnecessarily long to defragment.  My assumption is correct that it is better and faster to defragment a 60 GB and a 540 GB partition separately instead of constantly to defragment a single 600GO parition?  Several years ago I remember reading that because different methods between Windows and Linux of the way the data is stored on a hard drive, only Linux can be installed on one big partition with no problems and that Windows must be installed on two separate partitions, a smaller bone and much more for data.  It is still considered true and advised?

Thank you

Hello

With Windows and data on different disks is advisable however defragmentation speed
what the reason. First and foremost, is the ability to repair or reinstall Windows without affecting the
data. Adding it is easier to backup data and the same image of the operating system as well.

Different OS partitions and data are good, completely separate readers are better.

I hope this helps.

  • Questions about the discs of recovery and partitioning Satellite A200-QH0

    I bought a model of Satellite A200-QH0 in Australia and due to the lack of forums in our country, I would like to ask a few questions here if that's ok.

    The book contains 3 partitions - partition "EISA Configuration" of 1.6 GB, the great partition of the BONE and the recovery partition. So I did the recovery DVD? s using the Recovery Disc Creator tool, as we are not provided with a real disk. But I would like to know what will make these records? My questions:

    1. they really will return that disc hard back to the _exactly_ how he was including the partition layout and software pre-installed?
    2 will be the recovery DVD works even if the disk has been repartioned? I would like to divide the system partition to give space for the files of data etc. But this extra partition will stop the recovery procedure works correctly?

    Please understand that I'm not interested in reformatting the entire disk. I want to just split the partition from the OS. But in case I need to replace the disk in the future or something, I would like to know how to close to 'original', these disks will make me, no matter what I do on the disc?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure how recovery works on the Australian laptops computers Toshiba, but I presume that the restore CD contains the image of Toshiba with the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and utilities.
    I think that if you want to use the recovery CD then the whole HARD drive will be formatted and all partitions will be erased.

    I think that the recovery partition is not created using the recovery CD because the CD of restoration has already been created for the recovery partition is no longer necessary

  • Upgrade 9i to 11g w / AQ and partitioning

    Hi all

    We will make an upgrade for a client, 9.2.0.6 on Solaris 11 GR 2 on AIX 6.1. I read that the documentation for upgrade and the best (only?) way would be to an exp/IMP. There are only about 30-40 GB of data, so the downtime should not be too suddenly.

    My main concern is that the database uses AQ and partitioning. For export/import of partitioning should be able to carry it through, but for the QA part, should there be something else I should do in advance, or as long as I export/import objects QA owner then it should be ok?

    Edit:
    In addition, when you apply the patches, the order would be:
    -Install 11 GR 2
    -Create the database
    -Apply the power supply
    -Apply the CPU
    -Import data?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am agree with Dan - using dbua would be cleaner and simpler. You must first upgrade to 9.2.0.8 (which is also not too hard) before attempting to upgrade to 11 GR 2. See - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10819/preup.htm#i1007814

    Hello!

    We have a storage SAN with LUNS, created as a partition of 3.36 Tb I have map this partition to the host ESX 4 and you can see it in Configuration - Storage.

    Screenshot provided.

    Change the maximum block size doesn't matter...

    I ask you your opinion!

    ESX does not have the right size on a longer ROW of 2 TB. Please see the document below

    Then, you try to provide 3.6 to for a single VM (in a single hard drive)

    Please note that you can extend the LUN to a maximum storage volume of 64 TB (2 TB x 32 LUNS) However, you cannot assign more than 2 TB to a single hard disk. You will still need to create 2 hard drives of 2 TB each, then I would say that you do not use extends and present the LUN 1 to drive 2 TB hard 1st and 2nd MON of 1.6 to 2nd hard drive.

    In my opinion, you create restore DVD first. Then install the recovery image using these discs and when the OS is finished set partitions on your laptop.

    After doing this, it can happen that you will not be able to use the disk HARD recovery option more but the DVD of recovery only if as a first step in the history please create these recovery disks.

    Since the installation of El Capitan, my streaming to my Audioengine DAC D2 cut after 12 minutes (the default duration of sleep). It will restart by pressing the space bar. When I change the duration of sleep, the cut outs are becoming more frequent and intermittent. Help?

    I checked the wifi and changed frequency (new modem, frequency change made no difference). The Board battery seems fine - all updates well. My computer is an iMac (2011), 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with a new AMD Radeon graphics card. I recently installed a State strong 1 TB SATA drive and fitted with a LaCie Porsche 4 to USB for backup and a 4TB disk storage RAID LaCie drive.

    I'm frustrated, having to come in my computer since my living room every 12 minutes to continue to listen to Spotify on my stereo system.

  • buffer size and sync with the cDAQ 9188 problems and Visual Basic

    Hi all, I have a cDAQ-9188 with 9235 for quarter bridge straing caliber acquisition module.

    I would appreciate help to understand how synchronization and buffer.

    I do not use LabView: I'm developing in Visual Basic, Visual Studio 2010.

    I developed my app of the NI AcqStrainSample example. What I found in the order is:

    -CreateStrainGageChannel

    -ConfigureSampleClock

    -create an AnalogMultiChannelReader

    and

    -Start the task

    There is a timer in the VB application, once the task begun, that triggers the playback feature. This function uses:

    -AnalogMultiChannelReader.ReadWaveform (- 1).

    I have no problem with CreateStrainGageChannel, I put 8 channels and other settings.

    Regarding the ConfigureSampleClock, I have some doubts. I want a continuous acquisition, then I put the internal rate, signal source 1000, continuous sample mode, I set the size buffer using the parameter "sampled by channel.

    What I wonder is:

    (1) can I put any kind of buffer size? That the limited hardware of the module (9235) or DAQ (9188)?

    (2) can I read the buffer, let's say, once per second and read all samples stored in it?

    (3) do I have to implement my own buffer for playback of data acquisition, or it is not necessary?

    (4) because I don't want to lose packets: y at - it a timestamp index or a package, I can use to check for this?

    Thank you very much for the help

    Hi Roberto-

    I will address each of your questions:

    (1) can I put any kind of buffer size? That the limited hardware of the module (9235) or DAQ (9188)?

    The samplesPerChannel parameter has different features according to the synchronization mode, you choose.  If you choose finished samples the parameter samplesPerChannel determines how many sample clocks to generate and also determines the exact size to use.  But if you use streaming samples, the samplesPerChannel and speed settings are used together to determine the size of the buffer, according to this excerpt from the reference help C DAQmx:

    Note that this buffer is a buffer software host-side.  There can be no impact on the material available on the cDAQ-9188 or NI 9235 buffers.  These devices each have relatively small equipment pads and their firmware and the Driver NOR-DAQmx driver software transfer data device to automatically host and the most effective way possible.  The buffer on the host side then holds the data until you call DAQmx Read or otherwise the input stream of service.

    (2) can I read the buffer, let's say, once per second and read all samples stored in it?

    Yes.  You would achieve this by choosing a DAQmx Read size equal to the inverse of the sampling frequency (during 1 second data) or a multiple of that of the other playback times.

    (3) do I have to implement my own buffer for playback of data acquisition, or it is not necessary?

    No, you should not need to implement your own stamp.  The DAQmx buffer on the host side will contain the data until you call the DAQmx Read function.  If you want to read from this buffer less frequently you should consider increasing its size to avoid the overflow of this buffer.  Which brings me to your next question...

    (4) because I don't want to lose packets: y at - it a timestamp index or a package, I can use to check for this?

    DAQmx will meet you if all packets are lost.  The default behavior is to stop the flow of data and present an error if the buffer of the side host DAQmx overflows (if, for example, your application does not pick up samples of this buffer at a rate equal or faster than they are acquired, on average).

    If, for any reason, you want to let DAQmx to ignore the conditions of saturation (perhaps, for example, if you want to sample continuously at a high rate but want only interested in retrieving the most recent subset of samples), you can use the DAQmxSetReadOverWrite property and set it to DAQmx_Val_OverwriteUnreadSamps.

    I hope this helps.

  • Programmatically set the size of a table control (not the number of col and lines)

    Hi all

    I am trying to create a little VI, in which the user selects the number of columns and rows in a table, and after clicking on a button 'OK', the table control is displayed in the control panel (to be filled in by the user). To do this, I use the nodes property to the number of columns and lines. I have no problem with that.

    However, I want to "limit" the size of the control table (control of himself, not the dimensions of the table) and make use of vertical and horizontal table, the scroll bars. I want to avoid it is that passes type 100 user and 100 lines and appears a huge table control.

    I could tho this by using an array instead of an array, via the node property "size", but I would use an insead table a table.

    Thank you very much

    Daniel

    With a table control, you cannot set the display size to be anything other than a multiple of a complete cell.

    If you are limited to a number of lines and columns.  If you want to resize with more control you also need to resize the control within the Bay, accessible via the property 'picture Element '.

    Another option (but seems huge exaggerated) is to place your table in a secondary and set the size of the secondary to the size you need and enable scrollbars for her.  It is not an option that I would choose but if it helps...

    Have it, your description of your user interface sounds not very intuitive.  How the user knows at any time exactly what cell they access if they have to scroll backwards?

  • Can I use the HP Recovery partition after formatting and partitioning the rest of the hard drive?

    I recently had my HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) go kerput.  The Geek Squad said that the motherboard is dead.  I bought a laptop and I use this one for now, and I use the former dv4 as external hard drive.

    I intend to continue to use the hard drive from the old dv4 as an external unresolved for now, but I wish we could fix the dv4 at some point in the future.  Here's the problem: to get the most out of the former dv4 as external drive, I want to repartition it so that there is an NTFS partition and one HFS partition +.  This way I could easily use it with my Mac and Windows machines.

    But if I do that, I'm not sure if the image of HP recovery would continue to operate.  If it does not, then if/when I get the old dv4 a new motherboard, I couldn't restore the operating system from the recovery partition.  It is a problem, because I have not create recovery disks (stupid, I know - I'm definitely making them for the new machine).

    So, I want to do these two things:

    (1) create my dv4 recovery disks.  Can I do this if the dv4 drive is mounted in an external enclosure?

    (2) format and partition the drive dv4 (the leaving intact recovery partition) and later to recover the system from the recovery partition.  The recovery partition would continue to operate in these conditions?

    Thanks for any help that anyone is obtained.

    Hello:

    Can you still read all 25 characters of your product key of W7 on the bottom of your laptop broken?

    If so, you can do this...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
