I thought there was some idea that you wanted core os/app data near the center since you would always be using that.

- ragnese 5y agoYes, that was the argument I remember reading. You put "system" stuff first, then /home if you did a separate partition for it, etc. Swap last because "hopefully you won't be swapping much anyway". I also (vaguely) remember some people putting build partitions closer to the front.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoI think we're also talking about the days when a machine that was swapping extensively was going to be stupidly slow no matter what you did.
