Right!

During initial installation i made an image. First i filled the empty
space with zeros:

for i in $(seq 100) ; do
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/$i.dd bs=1M count=1024
done

The idea was to not have empty space with junk data in it, because that
would not compress very good. Then i made the image:

dd if=/dev/sda bs=10M | gzip --fast | ssh -c arcfour
[email protected] "cat > /home/kkruse/img.dd.gz"

The result was a 900 mb file. The command to write it back:

ssh -c arcfour [email protected] "cat
/home/kkruse/img.dd.gz" | gzip --decompress | dd of=/dev/sda

This is a SSD nightmare, i guess. ;)

I just used fstrim to tell the SSD that almost all of it is empty space,
for the future i added the discard mount option.

The write performance went from 20 MB/s to 30 MB/s. Not perfect, but at
least a bit better.

MFG,
