And maybbe it has to skip several partitions. And when at the same moment something else want something from /opt, it has to move to the next partition that may lay somewhere on the disk, which is much slower, than a full stroke to the beginning of the disk. > So I have: > > /boot 100M thait is total overkill... 15 is way enough.
