<p dir="ltr">I used ssd from workstation to server. I created partitions with fdisk and then I usually push all in with dd from the old disk. For the grub you can install it like a normal disk. If you want you can install a new system and then copy the home directory. The only directory that you can put on a normal disk is the portage's temp compiling dir. I saw on the WWW that someone are still working to a new filesystem that can be better to use with the ssd but I never test it.<br> Good work.....<br> Davide</p> <div class="gmail_quote">Il giorno 18/lug/2013 23:23, "luis jure" <<a href="mailto:ljc@internet.com.uy">ljc@internet.com.uy</a>> ha scritto:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <br> <br> hello list,<br> <br> i want to migrate my system, currently in a HD, to a new SSD. i thought it<br> would be easy, but i decided to read a little before partitioning the disk<br> (my first SDD) and now i'm really confused...<br> <br> i intend to have only two partitions in the SSD: one for / and the other<br> for /home. i have another HD for storage, where i'm going to put swap.<br> <br> apparently it's better to use a GPT partitioning. are there any catches i<br> should take into account? what about grub, can i just install it later on<br> the ssd?<br> <br> thanks for any comment or pointers, i found so many different "guides"<br> saying different things that i'm really confused.<br> <br> <br> best,<br> <br> <br> lj<br> <br> <br> </blockquote></div>
