Installing into own partition schema for SSD?
Hi, I am new owner of an Intel SSD. After reading about the need to properly align the partitions, logical volumes and filesystems to the SSD's erase block size I tried to follow these recommendations[1] and install Debian (6.0.1a) into an prepared partition scheme. My preferred setup is a 1GB /boot partition and the rest an dm-crypt encrypted partition with lvm on top. How can I tell the installer to use the prepared partitions? Alternatively I want to know how to specify the align-payload option to cryptsetup (--align-payload=2048).

AFAIR it's a bit counterintuitive and I might have even opened a bug report about it. I think it involves selecting a filesystem and telling the installer to not format the partition or something like that...

At least I haven't got it working. Thanks for your answer nevertheless. Kai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
