Topic: After cloning Ubuntu hdd, new one is deadly slow

Hi,
i used last release of gparted cd live to clone an hdd with ubuntu OS.
source was 12gb hdd
dest is 40 gb hdd
- i formatted dest to ext3, then i left 400mb unallocated, then i created an extended partition on those 400mb and created there the linux-swap partition.
- i copied the ext3 from source to dest partition: all went good
- i copied the linux-swap from source to dest partition: all went good
- selected boot flag on the ext3 partition
- shut down
- i switch hdd, and remove gparted livecd
I reinstalled grub using tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Recov … ingWindows
After booting all seemed good. Only problem is that now every command i do, like open a terminal or start tomcat, it takes ages, hdd load forever.
I used the 40gb hdd on windows untill now, and it had no problem.
Could you guess anything about it?
Thanks in advance

Are you able to post somewhere a GParted screen shot layout of the two hard drives ?

Re: After cloning Ubuntu hdd, new one is deadly slow

i can't atm, anyway it's something like:
hda:
  ext3 (12600mb)
  extended
    linux-swap (360mb)

hdb:
  ext3 (37400mb)
  extended
    linux-swap (390mb)

i created those partitions on hdb and copied from hda to hdb.

i tried www.feyrer.de/g4u/ and i got it to work without slow downs..
any reason for that?
