At work, I have a desktop running Fedora which has an SSD. I still am a bit old school, I suppose, and don't have as much confidence in their longevity. I also realize that this is probably not a valid concern, particularly based on the way I use the disk, which is mostly reads. Furthermore, I realize that my concern for losing a drive should be addressed in the same manner whether I have an SSD or an archaic spinning platter... So - I have an external disk which I backup to weekly. I am moderately concerned about my desktop being compromised by someone at the keyboard, but I am more concerned that someone has the ability to walk by and see my external disk hanging off my PC and try to access it from another PC. I have a slight advantage of being protected in that the average low-life probably doesn't know anything about Linux. NOTE: If you are particularly worried about security, do NOT create the keyfile which will force you to enter a pass...
Linux: The whole world made it for you... This blog is a collection of things I come across either at home or at work as a Linux Administrator. I have worked as an Admin working with Solaris, SAN, Backups and Linux at the Enterprise level for over 16 years.
