Hi list, I am now a proud user of a ssd drive. As I cloned my system (which was installed 5 years ago) to the drive, the filesystem on the source drive is ext3.
On my new drive I chose ext4 (with luks encryption) for as far as I read, most people are using ext4 instead of ext3 on ssd drives. Is this really recommended? And if yes, should I change the filesystem from ext3 to ext4 on my old spin drive? I think, this can be done with tune2fs (when I remember correctly), without any loss of data. If I am wrong, please point me to the correct tool. Most important thing for me is speed and security, and, of course, lifetime of the ssd is also important. I added noatime and discard to /etc/fstab, hope this is correct. Just a last question: During installation, I forgot, how I formatted the "/" partition (ext3 or ext4?). Is there a way, to find out, how it is formatted? Strangely, the option "discard" in /etc/fstab seem not to work on this particular partition. Thanks for any help!
