here is how I setup the file system. /etc/fstab # These part are on the SSD /dev/sdb1 /boot ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 /dev/sdb2 / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1 # These part are on the HD /dev/mapper/lvm-home /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 /dev/mapper/lvm-media /media ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 /dev/mapper/lvm-swap swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/mapper/lvm-var /var ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 You should set discard on all the part that are on the SSD to enable TRIM. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
