Discussions about Partitioning

2018-10-28 Thread Andreas Schindler

Partitions on SSD devices are contra productive altogether!

Multiple partitions are relicts from times where storage was small and 
file systems were unreliable.

Today you have huge (SSD-) disks along with gigabytes of very fast memory.

Have your SSD device manage as much of it's space on it's own strategy 
to extend the life of the SSD and get most advantage of automatic bad 
block replacement.


Two or more swap partitions on the same physical device make no sense. 
Swapping will  not benefit from this arrangement.


BTW, swap should be completely _unused_ during normal computer operation 
if you don't want a snail slow machine.
Consider to install a swap file instead of a swap partition for the rare 
cases where you run out of physical  memory.


The only situation you really want a _large_ swap is IMHO when 
developing kernel programs to get access to the whole messy system via a 
crash dump.


So, on an EFI system, all you need is

- EFI partition
- root partition

and, of course a reliable file system. I'm personally happy with BTRFS. 
Never had serious problems, but benefits like snapshot, resize and friends.


Consider frequent backups! SSDs will usually die _completely_ without 
announcement.

Jetzt, da Sie die Diskussion über Partitionen eröffnet haben, lassen Sie mich 
diesen Vorschlag machen!

now that we are on the subject of petitions let me just add a suggestion!  
someday someone is going to try to format a detachable Drive but his fat finger 
will make the mistake of formatting your main Drive instead.  if he catches his 
mistake in time he can stop the computer; but what you want to have on your 
slices and petitions is something in very low memory and something in very high 
memory that will not be so critical.  in other words your our home petition 
should not be the first petition or the last, not in extreme High memory and 
not in extreme low memory of your storage device.  of course there are many 
ways to approach this but here's one suggestion :

partition 5
tmp

p 6
swap

p   2
/

p   3
home

p   4
swap

p 7 and up alloted as you like


Ciao!

Hallo Sascha,

nun habe ich keine Lust mehr zum umsortieren. Praktischerweise schreibt
man auf Listen den eigenen Beitrag unter das Zitat, um den gesamten
Thread chronologisch lesbar zu machen.

Hallo Boris,

zunächst Danke für den Hinweis bzgl. der Liste. Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass 
Antworten automatisch an die Liste gehen, da es bei anderen Listen auch so ist.

Das ist kein Feature einer Liste.


Die ersten 4 Partitionen gehören Windows, wobei Partition 4 primär mit MBR ist.

Partition 5 ist als EXT4 und 6 als Swap formatiert. Das System bootet mit 
UEFII. Windows Schnellstart und security Boot sind deaktiviert.

Sorry, da blick' ich nicht durch. Was sind das für drei Partitionen vor
der Partition 4? Extended? Und 5 und 6?

Grundsätzlich musst Du erneut von einer CD (oder einem Stick) booten und
grub neu installieren. Da ich mich mit UEFI nicht gut genug auskenne,
gebe ich Dir dazu keinen konkreten Tipp, sondern nur noch diesen Link
https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall
und den Hinweis, dass ein Backup ein guter Schutz vor Datenverlust ist.

good luck,

Boris

Dave,

I suggest you offer your help directly to the EXIM or POSTFIX people,
or whatever email configuration you are going to use.

IMHO the Debian list is the wrong place to start, because the Debian 
people are not the decision party, when it comes to additional anti spam 
measures in email systems.


Each of the above MTA communities provide for a special mailing list.
I guess contributions which improve the over all spam capabilities
of these packages are always welcome.

However, whatever you intend to do to fight spam, make sure your method 
conforms the local law requirements. Taken e.g. the European Privacy 
Regulation, it's very hard to keep the very restrictive specifications.

Does Debian really promote spam, or are they simply ignorant?  Or 
perhaps they are too ashamed to ask for help?

Dave,

first of all: we don't appreciate help by someone calling us idiots.

If you argue about spam solutions, you better take a look at 
spamassassin & friends, which BTW are part of every Debian distro, and 
provide for real sophisticated professional anti-spam, before you offer 
your ridiculous 'solution' to the list accompanied by disgusting insults.


To the list moderator: How about banning Dave from the list? There was a 
similar case recently with the freeradius list and banning the offending 
person was quite a success.

Am I right?  As it happens, I am in the middle of upgrading a Penguin 
box; all you have to do is say the word, and it'll run FreeBSD instead.
