OK, now i have my system successfully installed and running on my new SSD. now i have to decide what to do with the rest of the disk (it's a 256MB samsung).
the first big question is: what about swap? i found some web pages (perhaps old) stating that it's not wise to put swap on the SSD because of all the read/writes. but apparently from what i read on the recent thread on this list, that shouldn't be much of a concern now. i also read somewhere that if you have swap on the SSD and want to avoid unnecessary read/writes, you can reduce swappiness. i have 12GB RAM and i think normally i don't really need swap space on disk, so i thought that could be a good idea. so what i'm planning to do now is: - put swap on the SSD - reduce swappiness - put /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs so, do you guys think that's a good setup?
