<i>&gt; Pees routinely corrupts root partitions and stop booting because system images are not tuned for SD card usage</i><p>My two Pis (currently both just running as Kodi boxes, but I&#x27;ve played with other things on them too) had a habit of killing SD cards, both cheaper ones which might well just be the cheapness of the cards and the better ones recommended by various people. I&#x27;ve taken to running them off NFS: the only thing that stays on the SD card is a boot partition and boot sector. For sequential reads this is definitely slower but they don&#x27;t happen much (aside from the video playing, but that is limited by desired playback speed not IO bandwidth an happens over the network to my media array anyway), for sequential write it should be too unless using a crap card, but when-ever I&#x27;ve noticed a difference in responsiveness the NFS option has been faster. I find it takes longer for them to boot, but once running everything is either the same or feels just a little nippier.<p>This is not an option for disconnected (or unreliably connected) units of course, and might be a chunk more faf to manage via wireless, but I recommend it for units that always have a wired connection to the local LAN where said LAN has an always-on machine capable of serving via NFS.
