I assume this "read many, write few" idea applies to all SSD drives.
There seems to be differing recommendations about the extent to worry
about configuring SSD drives and I'm wondering what people here think
and do.
Some links I've found with differing opinions:
http://robert.penz.name/137/no-swap-partition-journaling-filesystem-on-a-ssd/
http://opentechnow.blogspot.com/2010/02/linux-ssd-optimization-guide.html
The first is from 2008, whereas the second is 2010. Are the 2008
thoughts out-of-date, and therefore go with the latter?
I'm running ext3 with an SSD drive in a laptop (Debian Squeeze) with LVM
and disk-encryption. Already added noatime to fstab, but haven't made
other changes because I'm not sure how to balance the risks vs. gains.
Thanks for any thoughts and your time.
