Greetings all;

I am trying to remove as much write activity as possible from the u-sd
that a raspi boots from.  To that end I'll create a partition on an ssd,
of 5000 megs, then copy the existing /tmp's contents to it it, then
mount the ssd partition of that name on top of it where it is in the
u-sd now. A partition labeled tmp-u-sd-temp would be about the least
mistake prone to put in /etc/fstab. I did this once at least a decade or
more ago because I outgrew the /home/partition but can't in 2020
remember the fstab syntax a decade+ later.

Can someone help
This is not the asked solution to the problem, but why not just have your
root on nfs? No need to worry about any writes to the card then.
I, for myself, have the problem, that can't catch him.

He is speaking about a u-sd, but I'm only familiar with: ssd or usb.
Both sound similar, are different to handle, and at the end it's something
completly different he want's to know.


I believe he means a "micro SD" and is using the letter "u" to stand in for Greek mu.
