Repair permissions to resolve slow system issues
Uhm must be me, but i dont understand it, why do the file permissions affect the performance?
Repair permissions to resolve slow system issues
It's not just you. Disk permissions have nothing in the world to do with system speed. Either access to a file, directory, device, pipe, etc. is allowed or denied. Having non-default permissions will not slow down file access - it will only allow or deny it. Booting from the install disk probably helped this guy out by running fsck, replaying disk journals, or cleaning up the volumes some other way.
I see absolutely no reason to (a) screw around with your disk permissions and (b) run the permission reset thingy regularly. If you don't know what the permissions of a file should be and why, you shouldn't be messing with the permissions or running the permission reset doodad. If installing certain software is the cause of permission changes, reconsider installing the software. Then again, if you fully understand how disk permissions work, application installers that change permissions shouldn't be a problem for you. The original hint is incorrect and very misleading to the UNIX newbies here. --- |
