使用國高研發的 Clonezilla 複製 SSD

之前不慎買到美光的倒數計時 SSD(5000 小時), 上頭已經裝好了 Ubuntu. 基於懶人性格, 就不想要再安裝一次. 此時想到 clonezilla-live. 趕緊採購 Intel SSD 更換.

剛開始使用一般模式都讀到 99% 就直接吐錯誤訊息, 只好改用專家模式硬著頭皮上, 沒想到還是不行. 但是看到有個 RAW 複製的選項後面接著效率差的警語, 心想效率差總比沒有好. 沒想到竟然成功複製(複製速度 1.1GB/min), 還好 SSD 只是從 60GB 擴展複製到 120GB, 所以耐心等了不少時間終於完成複製 ext4 檔案系統. (圖片稍候再附上)

接下來是要將儲存設備的暫存 SSD(ufs) 從 160GB 換到 180GB, 也是再做一次, 不過這次不用做複製 GRUB.一切搞定.

在 FreeBSD 及 Ubuntu 啟動 MLS SSD 支援 TRIM

目前手邊的機器每一台都至少裝了一顆 MLC SSD. 不論是當系統碟或當暫存區使用, 都有需要啟動 TRIM. 剛好 FreeBSD 8.2 及 Ubuntu 11.10 的 kernel 都有支援 TRIM. 所以就參考文件設定.

[[[ FreeBSD 8.2 ]]]
1. Reboot and login in Single User Mode
2. tunefs -p /dev/adXXsXX
3. tunefs -t enable /dev/adXXsXX
4. Reboot the machine
5. Check the setting

HHHHH(XXXXXX)/root# tunefs -p /dev/adXsXX
tunefs: POSIX.1e ACLs: (-a)                                disabled
tunefs: NFSv4 ACLs: (-N)                                   disabled
tunefs: MAC multilabel: (-l)                               disabled
tunefs: soft updates: (-n)                                 disabled
tunefs: gjournal: (-J)                                     disabled
tunefs: trim: (-t)                                         enabled
tunefs: maximum blocks per file in a cylinder group: (-e)  2048
tunefs: average file size: (-f)                            16384
tunefs: average number of files in a directory: (-s)       64
tunefs: minimum percentage of free space: (-m)             8%
tunefs: optimization preference: (-o)                      time
tunefs: volume label: (-L)

[[[ Ubuntu 11.10 ]]]
1. Edit /etc/fstab and add "discard,noatime,nodiratime,".

root@HOSTNAME:~# diff /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab
10c10
< UUID=dXXXdXXX-5899-XXXX-XXXd-XXXXcXXX8XXX /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
---
> UUID=dXXXdXXX-5899-XXXX-XXXd-XXXXcXXX8XXX /               ext4    discard,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0       1

2. Edit /etc/rc.local and add following statements before 'exit 0'.

### For tweak SSD
echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch

3. Reboot the machine
