I am building a new MiniITX system and would like some help on partitioning/mounting points for SSD optimization.
The majority of / will be on the SSD, but files that are written to often shouldn't be there as the high write operations will diminish the lifetime of the SSD.
I will also have a 450G SATAIII drive where I believe that directories like /tmp and /home should be.
I also like the idea of a RamDisk for browser/etc files.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some links that discuss the above mentioned points? Thanks a ton in advance.
Intended system:
MoBo: Minix 890GX-USB3 (http://www.jwele.com/motherboard_detail.php?949)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 910e Deneb
RAM: G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
HDA: SSD Corsair SATAIII 2.5" 128GB
HDB: Western Digital SATAIII 2.5" 450GB
PSU: Pico 160W PSU (http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-160-XT)
Case: MiniBox M350 (http://www.mini-box.com/M350-universal-mini-itx-enclosure)
OS: Ubuntu (with Win7 in VM or DualBoot)
