Actually, it's /etc/init.d/localmount, not bootmisc. Add a sleep command just before No, you'de need to edit the bootmisc script and add a sleep command just before ebegin "Mounting local filesystems" > > How large is the SSD in your Eee?

Don't know but is meant to spare the SSD too much r/w strain. How? By spanning an LVM across the two, you have no control over which is written to the most. I'd put / on the SSD then mount write-heavy directories, like /var and /home, on the SD card. I'd also set $PORTDIR to /var/portage (/usr is a daft place to put the portage tree anyway). --=20 Neil Bothwick Windows to 486/50 mhz cpu: Don't rush me, don't rush me... --Sig_/hENlui+Y96xLmTJFc9DfudC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAko/LuEACgkQum4al0N1GQMGWACeJe+bWPo5Yyu9fqpyue89KqSp 9cUAmwfU1RkZZKjO9Zpmg+eUP+DyaImn =mnYj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/hENlui+Y96xLmTJFc9DfudC--
