[opensuse] File locations with SSD
I have a new SSD as the main drive and three 1.5TB sata drives for non-system files. My question is: Should the /tmp and /run files be moved from the SSD to the data drives to reduce writes on the SSD? If not, why?

Or, you could move /tmp to tmpfs (i.e., RAM). This is the systemd upstream default but overridden by openSUSE. I followed these steps that Cristian Rodríguez recommended last year: # mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants # ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/tmp.mount # reboot Gruß Jan -- Digital circuits are made from analog parts. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
