Suse 10.x going slow ?

try this to improve matters (as root)

 

Code:

rczmd stop

 

this controls the parse-metadata process, which top reveals as consuming vast amounts of cpu and hdd space...

 

stopping it should improve matters, if you wish to remove it altogether then do this

 

Code:

insserv -r novell-zumd

This is a wonderful tip, I actually got quite a bit of speed back from this. I'm only wondering what this process does and if I need it to run and if disabling it can cause any problems to develop in the future.
