Well, I'd decided to reinstall my Eee 901 because the first time, I'd used LVM to join the two internal SSD. The problem that I see with this is that because of the slow write performance on the 16Gb disc, sometimes the machines hangs for several seconds waiting for something to finish. Maybe this is not related to LVM and the second disc, but after reading the wiki article about the problem with Mozilla (http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/TipsAndTricks#SpeedupsluggishIceweasel.2BAC8-Firefox3) I thought that maybe some changes on the partitioning may help to the situation.
So, this is what I was thinking and will like to know your feedback: The 4Gb disc is the fastest at writing, so my idea is to create 2 partitions. The first one will be 1Gb for /var since the system writes often here (for example, on /var/log) and the second will 3Gb for /home (I'll explain why this soon). Then, on the 16Gb create two more partitions. The first will be 4Gb for / and the second one will be 12Gb for /var/local/homes_data So, the idea of the 3Gb partition mounted on /home is to be used for all the dot-directory (the hidden ones) that use to be updated often by the programs you use to keep configuration changes and things like that (see the Mozilla problem that I point before). The rest (for example the Desktop directory) is linked to /var/local/homes_data/$USER for storage purpose. As you can see, the whole idea is to try to gain the maximum performance from this nice machine. What did you think?. Thanks. Ernesto. _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
