SSD/HDD System - Tips and Pitfalls
by GPGAgent from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5125Y)
Hi Folks,
Hope everyone is staying safe.
Now I have some time on my hands I thought I would upgrade my twin XEON machine 16Gb memory machine with an SSD drive.
No problem with that, I'll just do a fresh install of Mint 19.3 and I'll use the existing 2TB HDD for data. In fact I'll wipe it as well, as it's all backed up to an external drive.
So should I use LVM or partitions?
Any tips/pitfalls would be much appreciated, like where should swap go, and where should system folders go like var, tmp, sys, bin, sbin and so on.
Do any system folders benefit from being on either ssd or hdd?
Cheers
