12.04 Cloned Hardrive is painfully slow

[nigel]

Ubuntu 12.04 with (edubuntu packages installed)

Not my computer, but was told it was having issues with the harddrive (a 40gb ide drive with some bad sectors)

Cloned the harddrive to a 320gb Sata drive, with clonezilla

System works but there are errors and it is painfully slow, as in it takes 5 minutes to load from the click of an icon

I have run memtest with no errors

The error we get on boot is something about /tmp not being loaded or ready

I will try and get the correct message when it is next rebooted

[kansasnoob]

Please post the full output of each of the following commands while booted into that OS (please wrap in code tags):

sudo blkid -c /dev/null

cat /etc/fstab

sudo parted -l

df -H

free -m

It could be that the computer is too old or 'weak' for standard Ubuntu. In that case it might work better with a flavour of Ubuntu that has a lighter desktop environment, Lubuntu or Xubuntu. Please give us also the following specs of the computer to make it easier to give relevant advice.

- Brand name and model
- CPU
- RAM (size) - should match the output of free -m
- graphics chip/card
- wifi chip/card

So try Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, ...) before installing it

The computer was running fine with the previous (failing harddrive) under 12.04, its a p4, but performance was acceptable, its only since it was cloned that it has become slow, I am assuming their must be some issue changing from IDE to Sata or the position of the hardrive.

I will run those commands shortly and post the results

I would use Xubuntu with a Pentium 4 CPU, but with enough RAM standard Ubuntu should work too.

The original drive was failing. Do you know if the cloning process was successful in the meaning that the target drive (the clone) was written without errors in the file system(s)?

You could test the root file system with

sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdxy

where x is the drive letter and y is the partition number.

It could also be some issue with the alignment (that the partitioning from the old drive does not fit well for the new drive). It is above my knowledge to fix such problems.

If the problems persist, it might be the easiest solution to backup the personal files, re-partition the drive and make a fresh install and copy back the personal files.

When i cloned, I am sure there was a repair errors before cloning option? in clonezilla which i used.

I have tried following a few suggestions on other threads here

I have had debsums? running and it seems to be finding a few missing files although it is so slow its been going 5 hrs (I had actually thought it had crashed)

Ok Here goes

And about there is where i have to stop and turn the machine off

[kansasnoob]

Thanks I wanted to be sure there was no problem with the UUID's and that all looks fine. I have a dumb question though

I see there are two Seagate 320GB drives connected, one with the OS and SWAP, the other formatted as ext4 and labeled Shiny. What is the device Shiny? If that's where the Clonezilla image is stored that might cause a problem so you may want to try running with Shiny disconnected.

I have another concern also though. That Seagate drive is SATA II (3.0 GB/s) and I think a lot (maybe all) of the P4's were only SATA I (1.5 GB/s) capable. There may be a jumper setting on those Seagate drives to make it run at 1.5 GB/s but I'm not familiar with that specific drive. You'll have to research the hardware involved a bit to find out if that CPU and motherboard are SATA I or SATA II, and then whether any settings need to be changed on the drive.

Regarding those errors try running the following commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Shiny is a second harddrive that is used for storing Music etc, it doesn't have any clonezilla or os files on it.

I have disconnected all drives, except the OS ones

Booting is as slow as ever

The error I am getting on boot is

Repeats with various numbers for about 30 mins

apparently a similar error was happening with the old ide drive

Will try and check smart? thingie on drive
