HI Gyorgyi,

Just wanted to see if you had a chance to read my message from yesterday?  
Also, I wanted to clarify,
you would not need to partition the SSD if you also wanted to mount a portion 
of the hdf5 directory
(maybe the radar subdirectory as I'd mentioned).  The only thing is that 
whatever portions are mounted
on the SSD would still either need to be in their proper directory, or have a 
simlink in their proper
spot.  For example /awips2/data_store/ would still need to exist, whether it 
was on the spinning disk
or the SSD, and same goes for the hdf5 directories, they would still need to 
exist in:
/awips2/edex/data/hdf5/.....
You can also load the OS on the SSD, although that is not necessary (however, 
it might help with 
performance, I'm not exactly sure).
Hope your week is going well and these emails are helpful.
Thanks.
