The reason I asked, is from reading about people using
three drives
for audio: OS, sample data, and audio streaming (record). And though
I have not had any problems with disk writes (even when I was using
only 1GB of ram and a PATA drive) I do tend to simpler things of
fewer tracks and no synth. For the most part, I would think any OS
parts would be sitting in memory anyway.
I may be asymptomatic as I run reaper with wine/wineasio/jack/linux-rt.
But I can't do (lowlatency) xrun free audio if the media files resides
on my home, I have to use a separate partition for it. Normally mixing
about 20-30 tracks either from wavepack or wave media. I did try all
the disk i/o schedulers, even setting reaper as realtime disk i/o class
and highest priority using ionice. Mind you this is using rust for
media. No idea if the problem would persist with ssd...
I do remember seeing similar issues with Ardour too.
