Hello, for testing I have used an 3.5"-HD, but if lenny becomes stable, I will use a device which consumes less energy. I would prefer a USB-Stick, but what I read about wear levelling I do not really understand. If I have a swap partion on it, will the swapping on the partition lead to writing on areas all over the disk or all over the partition? Swapping in my current system uses 7-10MB and I am not able to reduce it further. So is an USB-Stick possible or should I prefer the 2.5"-HD? But I still have a problem with my current hard disk (the problem with spinning up and down and the system not working at the end of the boot process, which I reported here some time before, what happens two times), but today after the boot something new happened. Some time before there was a beep sound added to the init scripts, and today the slug started an endless beep, stopping the beep if I press the front button, continues the beep if I stopped pressing it. Strange, what happened to the hd now happens with the sound device. So the question is, how can I decide something to avoid this behaviour and is the type of the device important here? Regards Michael
