I've got a Thinkpad Yoga with a 16GB SSD and a 500GB HDD and am trying to decide whether to install the OS on the SSD or use it with bcache (or dm-cache?) as a cache SSD.
My concern with the first set up is that my linux installs seem to bloat after a few years. For example, on my current laptop, my root (/) partition with the OS (i.e. not including /home which is on a separate partition) uses 20GB.
Any thoughts or experiences folks have had with either set up will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
