The following is the contents of my mount command: http://paste.debian.net/106401 The one with a UUID device, mounted to /, is really /dev/sda, the SSD. /dev/sdb is the 3TB WD green for my data, and /dev/sdc is the 750GB WD black, which is faster than the green, is for the changing part of the OS and for my swap partition. The idea was that I rely on my own discipline not to put any frequently changing stuff on /dev/sda. By the way, the following command shows that my SSD supports trim: hdparm -I | grep -i trim And so I can use the following command every once in a while to put no longer used disk sections back in the pool: fstrim -v / Like mentioned in a previous message, on this box I went cheap rather than going full-featured, so I anticipate using it only 2 years. I hope the next one has 64GB RAM, and I hope by that time SSD storage is a lot cheaper and more forgiving of a lot of writes.
