I plan to partition + format the SSD in my new machine very soon. |
| 2 |
The Arch wiki has an article on the subject, which says |
| 3 |
that recent versions of Fdisk will safely align SSD partitions. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Is this correct ? |

|

My partition scheme is |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1 boot 0,6 0,06 /boot |
| 10 |
2 root 30 3,55 / including opt usr var |
| 11 |
3 swap 4 -- swap |
| 12 |
5 home 30 3,3 /home |
| 13 |
6 portage 15 3,43 /usr/portage (distfiles 2,3) |
| 14 |
7 z 41 1,5 /z |
| 15 |
total 121 19,45 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The 1st column of numbers is the intended size in GB, |
| 18 |
the 2nd column is the actual usage on my existing machine. |
| 19 |
'z' is a big empty hangar-space where I manage ISOs etc ; |
| 20 |
I use /z/tmp/ for Portage's temporary disk space. |
| 21 |
Other items, eg /usr/local/ /usr/src/ wb on the HDD. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I plan to put /tmp/ on a ram disk. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Does anyone have comments or suggestions ? |
| 26 |
|

BTW there seems to be a bug in System Rescue 2.6 : |
| 28 |
it stalls when confronted with an unformatted partition or with swap |
| 29 |
& can't find its own data file to install itself. |
| 30 |
I got round this by installing Mageia on the HDD |
| 31 |
& using its utility to partition the SSD without a defined swap. |
