I was asking this because if you upgrade, FS is the same as before. If you use image (or xbian clone), FS will be different to Beta1.

As to your problem with dpkg --configure -a: this means your dpkg -i process wasn't completed and indicates bigger issues than speed of the process only. without more detail like - apt command and actual package + dpkg error which caused the unconfigured state - hard to discuss.

apt-snapshot of course is causing delay (when snapshot is created before dpkg is run), but is not affecting following dpkg operations. of course apt-snapshot on/off is in full control of user and it is up to you whether accept the 20s delay or not but this mean trade for easy rollback to previous system state in a minute without long and boring process of reflash and losing everything.

if you want to test more, revert to beta1 mount options. put "thread_pool=1" into cmdline.txt as rootfsopts= and remount / with noatime. currently you have to do this from command line after boot with:

Code:

sudo mount -o remount,noatime /

noatime in cmdline.txt won't be accepted when rootfs mounted by kernel.

autodefrag was used already on beta1x.
