Have ordered Samsung PCIe SSD and the appropriate card for the X1 slot on my motherboard. The idea is to run everything that isn't /home from there. Writes would therefore be relatively few. It's 1tb, so there are wide open spaces for wear leveling. Should greatly reduce drive-caused slowness. All that isn't /home is on a 75gb partition on sda, and I thought I'd just dd it over. But then it occurred to me: wouldn't that create the problem of two drives with the same UUID? The second issue is keeping the contents of the backup boot partition, a partition on sda, in sync with the SSD. I looked at Raid 1, but I believe that requires starting with two or more blank disks, not something to be tacked on later, so that's out. Is there a fairly uncomplicated way of keeping their contents identical? Nice if automatic, but if I need to do it manually every week or two, so be it. dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/ ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
