Other Help Topics :: How do I speed up startup and shutdown?
When I shut down, the "backing up files to /mnt/hda3 mounted on /dev/hda3" stage bogs the process down. When I start up, the "restoring backup files from /mnt/hda3 mounted on /dev/hda3" stage bogs the process down.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to speed this up?Use the "dma" boot code?What is taking up all the space? Fat mail client? Hopefully NOT extensions! Do you REALLY have that much dynamic content? If it is static then move out of the backup/restore into a personal extension.

What exactly is dynamic content? And what is meant by moving something out of the backup/restore into a personal extension? I have no idea what this means.Dynamic content is something (files) that changes almost everytime you use dsl and thus should be added to your backup.
If you are currently restoring plenty of files that do not change each time you use dsl, then you can add these files to a mydsl extension - this will avoid having to back them up and restore them every time.Next Page...
