Not with the default kernel. Read on. > Anyone has clue about installing XFS filesystem on Debian 6.0.5? The XFS driver will load as a module. To create an XFS filesystem: ~$ mkfs.xfs /dev/[device] ~$ mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb > I'm planning for using MySQL (/var) on XFS filesystem on my SSD. After creating the XFS you'd mount it at /var. Instructions for mounting and enabling automatic FITRIM in XFS are found here: http://xfs.org/index.php/FITRIM/discard The default 6.0.5 kernel is 2.6.32-5 which is very old and does not support TRIM. As mentioned in the XFS FITRIM FAQ, you'll need at minimum kernel 2.6.38 for batch mode TRIM and 3.0.0 for realtime TRIM. Debian doesn't offer a 2.6.38 kernel, but the backports repository does offer a 3.2 kernel. The package name is: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 This kernel allows using either FITRIM mode.
