Yes, very much so. I understand there are issues with too many read/write
cycles on the SSHD. Up to now I've re-jiggered the kernel at least a dozen
times. I guess I should have put the OS on a card first *then* onto the
hard-drive once everything was in order.

### EEEPC ####
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2
# By mounting the tmp directories in a tmpfs
# the accesses to the SSD will be decreased.
# But you will lose all the data in the tmp directories if the PC shuts down.
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs defaults 0 0
# If you do not use postfix as a real MTA then you can also add this line:
#tmpfs /var/spool/postfix tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,size=64m 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults,size=8m 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec
0 0
/gentoo/portage.squashfs /gentoo/portage auto loop,ro 0 0
...
Is this overkill? Or the way to go? Believe this was for a 701.
