You can even easily resize a volume to occupy a portion of a new HDD. So, my recommendation for new installs is always to use lvm. > Is it still a good idea to put /var on an HDD, not a SSD? My understanding of SSD operation is that they are excellent for write once, read often scenarios. Data that are going to be changed often may not be good candidates for an SSD. There's also a tendency for SSD operation to slow if the drive is re-written often. My information may be a bit outdated as SSD technology has improved. > /video HDD, btrfs, 560 GB > for video editing or series, no backup, not encrypted > /data HDD, btrfs, encrypted, keyfile, RAID1 (2 x 700 GB). > With subvolumes for digikam archive, movie archive and music I don't know much about software RAID. I usually run a hardware RAID. However, I'm not so sure it's a good idea to run a software RAID1 on a drive that will also be used for video editing. It seems to me that the RAID1 operation would drive down the performance of the HDD enough to significantly affect video editing. --Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
