Hallo
A year ago I have added a Samsung SSD-830 to my system,with a Core I3 CPU-530 and 4 GB Memory. At the same time I removed Windows 7 from the existing HD of 930GB and reformatted that as a single EXT4 /data partition and installed openSUSE 12.3 on the SSD. The partition set up is as follows:
/dev/sda 930 GB
/dev/sda1 900 GB Ext4 /data
/dev/sdb 238 GB
/dev/sdb1 20 GB EXT4 /
/dev/sdb2 80 GB EXT4 /home
/dev/sdb3 138 GB Extended
/dev/sdb5 2 GB Linux swap swap
/sev/sdb6 20 GB EXT4 not mounted (/ for openSUSE 13.1)
/dev/sdb7 30 GB EXT4 not mounted (/home for openSUSE 13.1)
The install went ok and the system function normally although the initial startup was not so fast as expected.
Around year end I have installed openSUSE 13.1 in the sdb6 and 7 partitions, first to test the system and later set as my main system.
A month or 2 ago I experienced that the mouse (or system) started to freeze, I could only continue by pressing the power button and boot-up again.
Slowly these symptoms became more frequent, replacing my mouse did not help and finally the system freeze every 1-3 hour.
Checking the logs, googling around does not point to the problem. Finally I checked with my supplier of the system to turn it in for repair. On the moment
that I told him about the SSD-Drive he say that there are quite some freezing problems with SSD's. He suggested me, before I turn in the system for repair,
to disconnect the SSD and run the system from A live USB stick with the openSUSE 13.1 system to check whether it is a SSD problem.
It turned out to be a problem with the SSD-Drive, since I can normally use the system without the freezing symptoms.
Furher googling learned me that SSD-drives need special set up eg
- Preferably be the first drive
- Changes to the fstab with noatime, discard
- Should not use it for swap file, / and /home
Is there an openSUSE document that describes the set-up / Configuration of SSD-drives ?
Can I reformat/reset the SSD or do I need to do something special ???
