Thank you gents for all your comments. I'm grateful. Here's what I think I |
11 |
should do as a result: |
12 |
|
13 |
1. Keep relatime in preference to noatime, to avoid getting access times |
14 |
earlier than modification times. Man mount says mutt dislikes that condition, |
15 |
and it looks like it shouldn't cost much in writes. |
16 |
|
17 |
2. Add async and nodiratime, which I hadn't spotted. I couldn't find |
18 |
norealtime in man mount. |
19 |
|
20 |
3. Reinstate journalling to all the ext4 partitions. |
21 |
|
22 |
4. Not try to fstrim the ext2 /boot partition. |
23 |
|
24 |
5. Keep running the cron job (which I forgot to mention last time - sorry) |
25 |
to run fstrim -v daily on all ext4 partitions. |
26 |
|
27 |
There's also the question of suitable parameters to mke2fs to suit a partition |
28 |
to /usr/portage, /usr/portage/packages and /var/cache/squid. I've left these |
29 |
at the defaults but maybe I should set them specifically. |
30 |
|
31 |
Once again, many thanks to the several people who offered advice. I can go to |
32 |
bed happy now! |
