Well, I rebuilt because I pulled down the updated source. It fixes or makes clearer an error message you see in the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Drive Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially this machine had a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 160Gb drive. As I said before, my BOINC machines get the old drives put in them so I can get the last bit of use out of them. Building\/changing\/testing\/using Diamond was too brutal for words. I deliberately left that drive in because I wanted to fix as many performance problems as I could given that Diamond uses JSON to store settings, last search, etc. Full builds were pretty bad. Just look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/products\/seagate-barracuda-7200-12-160gb-sata-300\/\">specs for the drive<\/a>. It&#8217;s an ATA-300 with only an 8MB buffer. Sadly, I&#8217;m old enough to remember when that drive was <em>fast<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick image backup using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terabyteunlimited.com\/image-for-linux.htm\">Terabyte Drive Image for Linux<\/a> and I swapped it out for a slightly better old drive from the shelf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">WDC WD2500AAKX-753CA1 (17.01H17)<br \/>SATA 300 with 16MB buffer<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Still an ATA-300, but that 16MB buffer makes a real difference. I really don&#8217;t think it has anything to do with the extra 90Gig of storage. I&#8217;m only using a tiny fraction with this minimal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/information-technology\/copperspice-experiments-pt-5\/\">&lt;Previous-part<\/a>   <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logikalsolutions.com\/wordpress\/information-technology\/copperspice-diamond-editor-changes\/\">Next-part><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry I haven&#8217;t written in a while.
