[xubuntu-users] 18.04 destroying my M.2 SSD

[don subscribe]

My fstab is set like yours. I have 16 Gb memory and I hav nothing
running except network.  This is a new install in which I have only
logged into, to start network.  I'm accessing from another box with open
shh and running iotop.
~$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
1

Thanks, Don
