integrate option 9 in option 2?

[excalibur1234]

is it possible to detect, whether manjaro is installed on a HDD or SSD and integrate option 9 into option 2?

this issue does not have a high priority.

From what I gather, there are ways, but they are not fool proof. Linux kernel detects this, but it seems to consider at least thumb drives HHDs.

You can get the root device with root_device=$(df | grep "/$" | cut -c 6-8) and check if it is ssd with cat /sys/block/$root_device/queue/rotational

If it returns 0, then kernel sees the root as SSD. If 1, it sees it as HDD.

So, what you are looking for is probably something like [[ $(cat /sys/block/$(df | grep "/$" | cut -c 6-8)/queue/rotational) == 1 ]] && sudo pacman-optimize

not exist this file in my pc ! but in /sys/devices/ :

find /sys -name "rotational"                                            
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.7/2-1.7:1.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/block/sdc/queue/rotational

thanks a lot, both of you! added: https://github.com/Manjaro-Pek/pacli/commit/a2c83aed07913ba6b06922796db97a14794eff8b

now, i have to think about a restructure of the second block...
