        https://www.tomshardware.com/news/boot-raspberry-pi-from-usb,39782.html

        really easy, copy all the data from sd to ssd, then change one line in sd config, reboot… voila

        on one machine I had trouble with regularly, I had a 500gb ssd drive I wasn’t using…
        for my main dev machine, I just bought a 128gig usb stick ssd. came with a cable, took 20 minutes to copy the data…spent $35 from amazon

          @BKeyport I am NOT trying to BOOT from the usb stick, most pi’s don’t support that

                  @MoreLinux said in dead SD-card every aprox. 6 months:

                  tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,size=100m 0 0
                  tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,size=30m 0 0
                  tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0755,size=100m 0 0
                  tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0755,size=2m 0 0
                  tmpfs /var/spool/mqueue tmpfs defaults,noatime,nosuid,mode=0700,gid=12,size=30m 0 0

                  could you potentilally give a more in-depth guide to doing this?

                    @PHAGE-GOV edit the file as root

                    if u are not root, then u must use the sudo prefix on a command

                    commands to edit on linux are vi, nano and (too many) others…

                    I use nano

                    SO its

                    sudo nano /etc/fstab
                    

                    has nothing to do with MM, just basic linux skills.
