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 |

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! |

Cheers! |
