Subject: [gentoo-user] [Gentoo-User] emerge --sync likely to kill SSD?
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2014 10:36:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMgqO2x7B6qKhFs6a=s=5saaY4KLtMJEh-3Q=TBoePRMQWRhzQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

rsync is doing bunch of  4k ramdon IO when updateing portage tree,
that will kill SSDs with much higher Write Amplification Factror.


I have a 2year old SSDs that have reported Write Amplification Factor
of 26. I think the only reason is that I put portage tree on this SSD
to speed it up.

what is the suggest way  to reduce Write Amplification  of a portage sync ?
