I plan to partition + format the SSD in my new machine very soon.
The Arch wiki has an article on the subject, which says
that recent versions of Fdisk will safely align SSD partitions.
Is this correct ?
My partition scheme is
1 boot 0,6 0,06 /boot
2 root 30 3,55 / including opt usr var
3 swap 4 -- swap
5 home 30 3,3 /home
6 portage 15 3,43 /usr/portage (distfiles 2,3)
7 z 41 1,5 /z
total 121 19,45
The 1st column of numbers is the intended size in GB,
the 2nd column is the actual usage on my existing machine.
'z' is a big empty hangar-space where I manage ISOs etc ;
I use /z/tmp/ for Portage's temporary disk space.
Other items, eg /usr/local/ /usr/src/ wb on the HDD.
I plan to put /tmp/ on a ram disk.
Does anyone have comments or suggestions ?
BTW there seems to be a bug in System Rescue 2.6 :
it stalls when confronted with an unformatted partition or with swap
& can't find its own data file to install itself.
I got round this by installing Mageia on the HDD
& using its utility to partition the SSD without a defined swap.
