Hey there!
I installed Chia on a regular HDD (all SSd’s plotting…) and everytime i restart the client it took about 10 minutes the client punishes the Databasefiles on the HDD. Is there any way to speed this up without reinstalling the whole system?
Thx!
Unlikely – I think the Chia devs need to optimize their software…
I haven’t had problems with .chia/mainnet on SSD, but I’d think based on some lsof’ing that post startup, you shouldn’t have any problem doing (Linux):
(If it’s running as root and your ssd mount is /ssd1)
chia stop all
mv /root/.chia /ssd1
ln -s /ssd1/.chia /root
chia start farmer
Now it’d be competing with plotting for throughput and IOPS of course.
Also, if you’re putting .chia on a disk that is more likely than not to fail at some point you want to backup the keys. But you always want to do that anyway 
Good luck!
