1. I throttled "all" unnecessary writes by having tmpfs on specific locations in /etc/fstab.
| Code: | UUID="F77B-87EC" /boot vfat noatime,noauto 1 2
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs mode=1777,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs mode=1777,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/cache tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/lib/dhcpcd tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/lib/ntp tmpfs mode=0755,uid=ntp,gid=ntp,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/lib/misc tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/lib/run tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /var/lib/syslog-ng tmpfs mode=0700,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /lib/rc/console tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0
tmpfs /lib/rc/tmp tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0
# /lib/rc/cache is going to be written during boot
# because /etc/init.d/localmount is executed
# after /lib/rc/cache is calculated.
# Fortunately, /lib/rc/cache is written
# only when /etc/init.d is modified.
# tmpfs /lib/rc/cache tmpfs mode=0755,noatime 0 0 |
2. Gentoo helps me customize kernel.
2-1. I tweaked kernel preemption on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and my workstation to eliminate xruns from JACK audio connection kit.
Enabling PREEMPT and RT_GROUP_SCHED on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and PREEMPT_RT_FULL on my workstation eliminates xruns.
This setup withstands heavy file system operations on ZFS without xruns.
2-2. I chose powersave CPU governor in order to keep Raspberry Pi cool and disable CPU frequency scaling which can cause xruns in JACK audio connection kit.
Conclusion: Gentoo helps you turn Raspberry Pi into an audio server with ZFS root file system. It also helps you eliminate unnecessary writes on microSD cards. |

Noice.
You've backed all of this up somewhere, right? Sounds like a lot of work, would suck if you lost it. |

It's all backed up. |
