Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
currentlu I am setting up a new PC for my 12-years old one, |
4 |
which has reached the limits of its "computational power" :) |
5 |
|
6 |
SSDs are a common replacement for HDs nowaday -- but I still trust my |
7 |
HDs more than this "flashy" things...call me retro or oldschool, but |
8 |
it my current "Bauchgefühl" (gut feeling). |
9 |
|
10 |
To reduce write cycles to the SSD, which are quite a lot when using |
11 |
UNIX/Limux (logging etc) and especially GENTOO (compiling sources |
12 |
instead of using binary packages -- which is GOOD!), I am planning |
13 |
the following setup: |
14 |
|
15 |
The sustem will boot from SSD. |
16 |
|
17 |
The HD will contain the whole system including the complete root |
18 |
filesustem. Updateing, installing via Gentoo tools will run using |
19 |
the HD. If that process has ended, I will rsync the HD based root |
20 |
fileystem to the SSD. |
21 |
|
22 |
Folders, which will be written to by the sustem while running will |
23 |
be symlinked to the HD. |
24 |
|
25 |
This should work...? |
26 |
|
27 |
Or is there another idea to setup a system which will benefit from |
28 |
the advantages of a SSD by avoiding its disadvantages? |
29 |
|
30 |
Background: I am normally using a PC a long time and try to avoid |
31 |
buying things for reasons like being more modern or being newer. |
32 |
|
33 |
Any idea to setup such a sustem is heardly welcone -- thank you |
34 |
very much in advance! |
35 |

Cheers! |
