It's not an answer to your question exactly, but I wouldn't move any of /home, /usr or /tmp to the HDD: - /tmp is mounted as tmpfs by default, so technically it's in the RAM not on any disk - /usr and /home are mostly where, almost any, app is going to load files from when you start it for the first time after logging in; IMHO, to make full use of an SSD, leave these two partitions be, it _should_ make for a noticeable difference in app loading times. What you could do to save some space on the SSD is create a new partition on the HDD, and keep e.g. music, video, basically any large files, on it, and just access them from there. IIUC, SSD's are more resilient nowadays than they used to be, so just make use of the I/O speed boost. You can of course research the technical specs of the SSD you have and see what the manufacturer has posted about the optimal/expected amount of data that can be written to it in during its lifetime and plan accordingly. Assuming the file system is ext4, you can get an idea about the average writes, to the SSD, per day by examining[1]: $ cat /sys/fs/ext4/sdXX/lifetime_write_kbytes $ cat /sys/fs/ext4/sdXX/session_write_kbytes [1]https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg16331.html -- Ahmad Samir _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XY3CM5QLUL2RNVLASD7G2BWMGBAIKD5S/
