OK, now i have my system successfully installed and running on my new SSD. |
| 2 |
now i have to decide what to do with the rest of the disk (it's a 256MB |
| 3 |
samsung). |

the first big question is: what about swap? i found some web pages |
| 6 |
(perhaps old) stating that it's not wise to put swap on the SSD because of |
| 7 |
all the read/writes. but apparently from what i read on the recent |
| 8 |
thread on this list, that shouldn't be much of a concern now. |

i also read somewhere that if you have swap on the SSD and want to avoid |
| 11 |
unnecessary read/writes, you can reduce swappiness. i have 12GB RAM and i |
| 12 |
think normally i don't really need swap space on disk, so i thought that |
| 13 |
could be a good idea. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
so what i'm planning to do now is: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- put swap on the SSD |
| 18 |
- reduce swappiness |
| 19 |
- put /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
so, do you guys think that's a good setup? |
