Hi Aaron,

I'm not sure I fully understood you, yes it has been used many times. Should

I erase it completely in order to refresh properly the drive ?

BTW I actually make regular save of the while drive because I'm afraid that

it one days stops to works (the SSD on my server) and since it actually

hosts a website, that's a good reason for me to tarball it once in a while,

generally after many updates of the site.
Regards
