Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo on SSD

aside from that you might want to specify a different IO scheduler for the SSD, I do that via udev rules like: # 60-sched.rules # set deadline scheduler for non-rotating disks ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="deadline" # set cfq

[gentoo-user] gentoo on SSD

Hello to everyone, I just bought a 250 GB SSD and I'm planning to install Gentoo on it. I've read the Gentoo Wiki page on this and searched Google for hints on this, but since I found out that much information was either contradictory or outdated, I'm asking anyone with first-hand experience on

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on SSD

I'm thinking of re-installing Gentoo on an Intel 40 Megs SSD -- excluding the most often writen dirs like /var, /tmp, /home --. What do you think ? I'll be glad to hear about previous experiences. What about swap ? Is it safe to have it on the SSD ?
