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.
My current setup is the first. I have bridged the two internal SSDs using LVM, and I am using a fully encrypted partition volume on top of that which contains an ext4 root. I have seen no problems with slower write performance using this setup. I used to do the tip about speeding up Mozilla and then just turned it off; I see no hiccups in everyday use with firefox and I only have /var/tmp and /tmp on tmpfs. The only case in which I found there to be an interminably slow behavior was when using pbuilder; I use cowdancer anyway which is very fast on the eeepc. So for my two cents of unscientific research, I'm not sure if your complex system is worth it. Daniel -- Daniel Moerner <[email protected]>
