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 th= e 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 c= an put on a normal disk is the portage's temp compiling dir. I saw on t= he WWW that someone are still working to a new filesystem that can be bette= r to use with the ssd but I never test it.
Good work.....

hello list,

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...

i intend to have only two partitions in the SSD: one for / and the other for /home. i have another HD for storage, where i'm going to put swap.<= br>
apparently it's better to use a GPT partitioning. are there any catches= i
should take into account? what about grub, can i just install it later on the ssd?

thanks for any comment or pointers, i found so many different "guides&= quot;
saying different things that i'm really confused.


best,


lj
