[gentoo-user] SSD configuration

Hi all, I bought a 250Go SSD M4 Crucial , read (of course) Gentoo documentation and installed the drive on my desktop pc (Asus MB, Intel ie7 and 6Go RAM). 1- Everything seems to work perfectly, but i would like to know if my configuration is ok or could be optimized. /tmp and /var/log are on tmp

Re: [gentoo-user] SSD configuration

You should look at the BIOS config, if AHCI is enable. 2012/11/25 Jacques Montier > Hi all, > > I bought a 250Go SSD M4 Crucial , read (of course) Gentoo documentation > and installed the drive on my desktop pc (Asus MB, Intel ie7 and 6Go RAM). > > 1- Everything seems to work perfectly, but i w

Re: [gentoo-user] SSD configuration

Thank you Luis, In BIOS, i switched to AHCI instead of IDE Mode, but the system does not boot. I get kernel panic (No filesystem could mount root...) My kernel configuration : CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y -- Jacques 2012/11/25 Luis Gustavo Vilela de Oliveira > You should look at the BIOS config, if AH

Re: [gentoo-user] SSD configuration

Well, with 8Gb RAM, i recommend use tmpfs on PORTAGE_TMPDIR, just while u are compiling anything. Or even with 6Gb too. I don't worry to much about use the SSD, the only thing that i do is use distfiles, music/video/photos on HDD to safe space. And the TMPDIR thing when i'm compiling a lot of thin

I cannot imagine it to say "do not let your OS swap on this flash disk". Most people have no clue what swap is, and all those netbooks nowadays have only a cheap SSD at

Re: [gentoo-user] SSD configuration

Nice way to handle that. I only had problems with libreoffice. But i mount the tmpdir ondemand, and when libreoffice needs update i use the SSD instead. I have 16GB too, and in general use 4GB for tmpfs on TMPDIR, i think only some packages need more then that. 2012/11/26 Alex Schuster > Luis

Re: [gentoo-user] SSD configuration

I think u misunderstand, i belive that what Schuster have is tmpfs always mounted on /var/tmp/portage, and PORTAGE_TMPDIR will be that. When he need more than 8Gb in some package PORTAGE_TMPDIR will be /var/portage/tmp and that on HDD. What i have is /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs config in fstab with
