What should I know about installing the system partitions on a CF card? Should I put swap there also? If not, why not? Will the CF card wear down? Should I invest in faster CF cards? The system will probably have 2Gb memory.
Why not invest in more memory and avoid swap altogether?
Also, does OpenSUSE 11.1 spin down the 1.5Tb data hard drives when they are not in use? Or can it be easily configured to do so?
It's easily configured with hdparm. I've got a backup-system with 2x1Tb in RAID1 which is only spun up for a maybe four hours every morning between 2 and 6. Experiment a bit with your hardware - my array is showing some instability when spinning up the drives, and I think I'll have to return/replace one or both. /Per -- /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
