Just curious to know: how does mounting (or unmounting) a partition affect the performance of the system?
I have a fairly large partition where have stored backups, software and old files that I don't need to access unless I rarely happen to. But I have set this partition to auto-mount at start-up along with other partitions. I just wanted to know if keeping this partition unmounted would save some resources in some way.
Thank you for your time in advance!
