This decreases the life of the SSD.Įdit your /etc/fstab configuration file (carefully - take a backup to be sure as breaking your fstab configuration can prevent you system from working): cp /etc/fstab ~/fstab-backupĮdit the mounting options for your partitions by adding the text noatime and nodiratime to the lines defining your root (/) and other partitions if you have them (/home) - Note: if you have a /home partition, start with that just changing that partition if you are concerned about breaking something # / was on /dev/sda2 during installation The reason this is generally a bad idea, is because every read will produce a write when updating the timestamps. These timestamp writes are not generally required unless you use a local mail server client such as mutt. Mounting your partitions with the options noatime and nodiratime will stop timestamp writes when you read files and folders. If you have a mix of SSD and hard drives, place your swap partition on the hard drives only.Ģ) No Writes for Read Timestamps (suitable for SSD's and hard drives) If you do not hibernate your computer and you have ample RAM memory to run all your applications, then in theory you do not need a swap partition. I have successfully used several different techniques to improve the way Ubuntu uses the storage device, whether that be solid state or traditional drive.įor SSD's you are looking to minimise the number of times the drive is written too, as reads should not add wear to the drive.
