The real question would be why would you pay the extra and use an SSD? My one and only reason is that HD add to the acoustic noise level. A smaller but not less important reason would be power consumption.
In my LMS-machine OS sits on the SSD (Samsung SSD PB22-J MLC), without swap, and /tmp sitting ram. Code: -------------------- devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=1G 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=2G,mode=1777 0 0 #LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=root / ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,discard 0 1 LABEL=boot /boot ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,discard 0 3 LABEL=home /home ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime,discard 0 2 -------------------- The media files are on a RAID5 (HD) based LVM. I did experiment with the log files on a tmpfs as well but ran in a number weird boot problems so stopped doing that. Ofcourse /opt/logitechmediaserver sits on the SSD so DB activity is fast and noiseless. The audio files are located on a RAID5 (HD) based lvm set which can spin-down if not needed. I would not worry about the SSD. You are not planning to write GBytes of new data daily (are you?) only once most probably. The SSD most likely will outlive the economic value of your system. -- th00ht Ripping: 'EAC (free and great)' (http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/) Squeezebox Server 7.7.1 - r33735 / Arch64 Squeezebox Classic, Quad 303 (where can I get new caps?) + two Quad ESL 63 Squeezebox Touch, Denon AVR 1912 (Pure Direct) + two CM8 + two CM1 + CMC Squeezebox Radio White 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/th00ht), 'SoS' (http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Society_of_Sound/Society_of_Sound/Music/download-manager.html), 'linn' ( http://www.linn.co.uk/music) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ th00ht's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15656 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93717 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
