[20:03] <benbloom> can someone look over my fstab (http://paste.ubuntu.com/5838350/) and make sure I'm not doing something stupid? I'm trying to preserve the microSD card that my TrimSlice (Precise armhf) uses for it's root fs. Obvously my media and nfs mounts are irrelevant. I'm mainly looking for help with the commented lines at the top of the fstab. It's difficult to troubleshoot because the Trimslice is headless.
[20:04] <benbloom> I've not had a problem with it, I just was hoping for a second pair of eyes to help proofread it before I try to boot with it.
[20:06] <hrw> benbloom: use ext4 not ext2?
[20:07] <hrw> benbloom: use tmpfs for /tmp/
[20:08] <benbloom> hrw: is "tmpfs  /tmp       tmpfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime,mode=1777  0 0" correct?
[20:09] <hrw> none              /tmp                          tmpfs   defaults                            0       0
[20:09] <hrw> is what I use
[20:10] <hrw> noatime etc shoult not be used for tmpfs imho
[20:11] <benbloom> k. I got all that from http://www.mysolutions.it/linux-ssd-solid-state-drive/ . There seems to be a few ways to accomplish this
[20:12] <hrw> benbloom: align partitions to 4MB for SD cards
[20:13] <hrw> benbloom: if you plan to have /var/tmp/ as tmpfs then just make it symlink to /tmp/
[20:14]  * hrw off
[20:16] <benbloom> thx
