It is, but you're also mounting /dev/fg/tmp on /tmp. > > I still think there may be a delay in the kernel seeing the SD card, > > this used to happen with my Eee.

Actually, it's /etc/init.d/localmount, not bootmisc. Add a sleep command just before No, you'de need to edit the bootmisc script and add a sleep command just before ebegin "Mounting local filesystems" > > How large is the SSD in your Eee?

Don't know but is meant to spare the SSD too much r/w strain. How? By spanning an LVM across the two, you have no control over which is written to the most. I'd put / on the SSD then mount write-heavy directories, like /var and /home, on the SD card. I'd also set $PORTDIR to /var/portage (/usr is a daft place to put the portage tree anyway). -- Neil Bothwick Windows to 486/50 mhz cpu: Don't rush me, don't rush me...
