This drive is actually mSata - which is to say it has a mini-pci format and is used in addition to the normal hard drive - being small it is much cheaper than replacing the entire hard drive - but its big enough for root and opt and some /home for sure but not all. However, since I alsways enccyrpt /home and Michael pointed out that TRIM wont work for LUKS maybe its best I dont use it for /home. My normal set up is encypted /home, /opt and swap. Then I bind mount /tmp and /var/tmp over /opt/tmp /opt/var/tmp so that they are both encrypted too - I find it convenient not to encrypt root for when things go bad and recovering can be simplified. Thanks for your suggestions .. I'll def set the atime flags. gene -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
