Hi Does anyone know if there exist any list of recommendations about how to make an SSD disk to live as long as possible when using it for firewall purpose on OpenBSD? It seems that OpenBSD lack some features related to SSDs like TRIM. SSDs are getting more popular, but I cannot find much info in the OpenBSD FAQ or on misc. Also, it is not that easy to get a good understanding of how long an average good SSD will really live with average disk writes from the specs. And there a more than one way to give specs about this where DWPD is one and MTBF is another.
Therefor I at least want to do the easy steps to make it long lived... Softdep is probably a good thing. What else? And I think of rewriting the logging handling with dates in /var/log to avoid a move of all logs every day. Or is that waste of time? Any special handling/settings for swap and /tmp? Input very much appreciated Tnx in advance /Peo Current FW system: OpenBSD 5.9 stable, Mainboard: NF9HG-2930, Nics: i211AT, CPU: N2930, Disk: Intel 525 30GB mSATA
